Three-Dimensional Net Shaping Combining $VLM-_{ST}$ and the Triple Reverse Rapid Tooling

$VLM-_{ST}$ 공정과 삼단역전 쾌속 툴링 공정을 이용한 3차원 제품 정형가공에 관한 연구

The technical combination of RP and RT has a potential for rapid manufacturing of three-dimensional parts. In the present work a new RP system, $VLM-_{ST}$, is proposed to manufacture net shapes of 3D prototypes. ㅁ human head shape and a kob shape are manufactured by the $VLM-_{ST}$ apparatus. In addition, a new RT technology, which utilizes a RTV molding technique and a triple reverse process technique, is proposed to manufacture net shapes of 3D plastic parts using prototypes of $VLM-_{ST}$. A plastic part of the knob shape os produced by the proposed RT technology. The combination of the proposed RP and RT enables the manufacturing of a plastic knob within two days.
