Abstract

In the past few years, three-dimensional (3D) printing has been developed as a rapid prototyping (RP) technique. The fused deposition modeling (FDM)-type 3D printing is one of the most useful RP methods; however, it still has several disadvantages, such as low conductivity, heat degradation, and low surface quality. In this study, test specimens are fabricated using an FDM-type 3D printer with an ABS material. Then, the specimens undergo post-processing on submerging in acetone with various processing times. As the processing time increases, surface roughness is enhanced significantly within the first five seconds by chemical processing, following which the processing effects are reduced. Furthermore, post processing causes the ultimate strength and strain to increase slightly with increased processing time.

최근 3차원 프린팅 기술은 비약적으로 발전하여 쾌속조형기술의 대명사가 되고 있다. FDM 방식의 3D프린터는 쾌속조형에 사용되는 가장 일반적인 프린터이지만, 열에 취약하고, 출력물의 표면이 매끄럽지 못하는 등의 문제를 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 FDM방식의 3D프린터로 ABS재질의 시편을 제작하였고, 아세톤에 시편을 담그는 방식으로 후처리를 수행하였다. 공정시간을 변수로 후처리를 진행하였으며, 처음 5초의 후처리 시간동안에는 시편의 표면조도가 급격하게 개선되는 결과를 획득하였으며, 5초 이후에는 표면조도의 변화정도가 미미하였다. 또한, 이러한 후처리 공정은 적지만 시편의 인장강도와 파단변형률을 상승시키는 결과를 나타내었다.
