The material processing by using ultrashort pulse laser, in recently, is actively applying into the micro machining and nano-machining technology since ultrashort pulse has so faster than the time which the electrons energy absorbing photon energy is transmitted to surrounding lattice-phonon that it has many advantages in point of machining. The micro machining of metallic thin film on the plain glass is widely used in the fields such as mask repairing for semiconductor, fabrication of photonic crystal, MEMS devices and data storage devices. Therefore, it is important to secure the machining technology of the sub-micron size. In this research, we set up the machining system by using ultrashort pulse laser and conduct on the Cr 200nm thin film ablation experiments of spot and line with the variables such as energy, pulse number, speed, and so on. And we observed the characteristics of surrounding heat-affected zone and by-products appeared in critical energy density and higher energy density through SEM, and also examined the machining features between in He gas atmosphere which make pulse change minimized by nonlinear effect and in the air. Finally, the pit size of 0.8${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ diameter and the line width of 1${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ could be obtained.

The LDS(Laser Direct Structuring) process uses thermoplastic polymers with a additive compound that serves as plating seed after the activation by laser. It can realize industry requirement such as miniaturization of electrical component, design flexibility and reduction of production steps. The purpose of this study is to introduce LDS, and to investigate the fundamental mechanism. Also the characteristics of conductive patterns were investigated with respect to laser fluence and intensity. We have used a pulsed fiber laser (wavelength : 1064nm) and copper electroless plating to fabricate conductive patterns. The result showed that laser induced metal-organic complex was caused metalization by electroless copper plating, the critical laser fluence was $1.41\;J/cm^2$ at a scan speed of 1 m/s.

Recently, microcellular polymer films have been widely used as absorbents, support cells, and sensors in the industrial fields of IT, NT, BT, and ST. The conventional fabrication methods of microcellular polymer films are not only more complicated than those of non-microcellular polymer films, but also require a longer production time. In this paper, we propose a new hybrid fabrication method for microcellular polymer films; films can be rapidly made using UV laser processing with chemical blowing agents. The experimental results show that the number of the micropores increased with respect to the laser fluence and the concentration of the chemical blowing agents.

This paper presents the basic concept of new solid freeform fabrication system using rapid prototyping method. The system could fabricate an arbitrary ceramic form by laser cutting, transferring, stacking, and sintering of each slide. The system consists mainly of laser apparatus. X-Y table, a slide transferring system, and electric oven. The system could fabricate an object that has smooth surface with comparatively short period of time. The system is effective in terms of its direct fabrication capability without second mechanical process. The fabricated shape could directly be used as part of a whole assembly and therefore its method could be applied to various application areas.

Laser processing has been used in various fields. In this study, the feasibility of a hydrophobic surface was investigated through the laser cladding technique. A diode laser was used, and the output was set to 600-800 W. Seven different specimens were prepared with different cladding widths and spacings, and the contact angles for water droplets were evaluated. As a result, the contact angle of water droplets measured in the direction parallel to the cladding line was higher than that in the vertical direction. The wider the cladding width and the cladding space, the higher the contact angle in the parallel direction. It is thought that when a higher contact angle is formed in the parallel direction, more air can be placed in the valley between the cladding lines. In addition, for the hydrophobic coating effect, the contact angle of the coated cladding surface was increased by about $5-15^{\circ}$ as a whole compared to the coated smooth surface. It was confirmed that the wetting characteristics were improved through the cladding.

The laser welding and its analysis were carried out using high power 6kW $CO_2$ laser for high strength steels such as DP, TRIP and conventional high strength steels. Bead on plate welding of thin sheet was examined to investigate the effect of weld variables of laser welding, and to obtain optimum welding condition. In order to investigate the formability of welded high strength steels, LDH test was added on this work. At high welding speed, the partial penetration was obtained by low heat input. Meanwhile, porosity was formed in the bead at low weld speed because of extremely higher heat input. The optimum welding condition of welding was derived from bead width, penetration and hardness property. It was shown that the DP steels had lower porosity level and smooth bead shape, therefore better laser weldability than TRIP steels and conventional high strength steels. In addition, LDH test shows that the welded DP steels have about $90\%$ formability value of base metal, although TRIP steel and conventional high strength steels have about $80\%$ formability value of its base metal.

Electrospun meshed poly-caprolactone PCL was patterned by femtosecond laser with linear grooves. As parametric variables, focus spot size, pulse energy, and scanning speed were varied to determine the affects on groove size and the characteristics of the electrospun fiber at the edges of these grooves. The femtosecond laser was seen to be an effective means for flexibly structuring the surface of ES PCL scaffolds and the width of the ablated grooves was well controlled by laser energy and focus spot size. The ablation threshold was measured to be $14.9J/cm^2$ which is a little higher than other polymers. These affects were attributed to optical multiple reflections inside nano-fibers. By the laser-induced plasma at higher pulse energies, some melting of fibers was observed.

In this paper, the monitoring system was developed measuring the light signal emitted from the plasma in aluminum laser welding. Spectrum of plasma was measured using a spectrometer, and the photodiode was selected based on the spectrum analysis. The sensor signals for various welding conditions could be obtained, the characteristic of signal was closely related to the intensity and stability of plasma through mean value of signal and FFT analysis. The reason of signal fluctuation was behavior of plasma and keyhole and it was also connected with the surface bead shape of weld.

최근 자동차가 편리성과 안전성을 추구함에 따라서 자동차 부품도 과거의 기계식 동작 방법에서 전자 제어 장치가 부착된 전자식 동작 방법으로 발전되어 가고 있는 추세입니다. 또한 연비 향상을 위하여 부품의 소형화가 급속히 추진되고 있습니다. 이러한 전자화, 소형화를 실현시키기 위해 자동차 부품에서의 정밀성이 요구되어 지고 있고, 부품 제조 측면에서는 고속화, 정확성이 요구되고 있는 실정입니다. 당사의 경우 CBS (Conventional Brake System)를 생산하다가 전자 제어 장치가 부착된 ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)의 생산을 시작할 때, 부품의 정밀도를 좌우하는 각 치수의 공차 영역이 전체적으로 CBS 대비 약 1/5 수준밖에 되지 않고, 가공 속도는 약 2 배가 빨라야 하기 때문에 생산 준비 단계에서 많은 시행 착오를 겪어야만 했습니다. 여기서 당사가 ABS를 양산하면서 겪은 경험을 토대로 기술토록 하겠습니다. 가공 기술의 경우 고속, 정밀 가공을 실현시키기 위해서 크게 4 가지 측면을 고려해야만 하며, 그 4가지는 설비, Tool Holder, Tool, Chip 측면입니다. 먼저 설비가 고정도가 되기 위해 고강성을 필요로 하는 것은 물론 가동중에 필연적으로 발생하는 열변형에 대한 대책을 수립하지 않으면 안됩니다. 이러한 열변형은 설비 설계 단계에서 대책을 수립할 수 있는 것도 있지만 주위 온도 변화에 의한 열변형처럼 사용 중에 발생되는 것은 설비 사용자가 장시간에 걸친 Data 를 확보하여 대책을 수립하지 않으면 안됩니다. 또한 Tool Holder의 정도도 일반적으로 사용하는 것보다는 고정도의 것이 요구되어지므로 Tool Holder Maker 에 반드시 요구 정도를 명기하여 주문하여야 합니다. Tool도 고속화를 실현시키기 위해 고정도의 다이아몬드 공구가 필요하였고 이를 국내에서 개발하기 위해 많은 시행 착오를 겪어야만 했습니다. 또한 Chip 배출이 고정도의 필수 고려 항목으로서 당사에서는 경우에 따라 여러 가지의 방법을 사용하고 있습니다. 조립 기술의 경우 스테인레스 박판을 열변형을 최소로 하면서 용접을 하기 위해서 레이저 용접을 도입하였고, 부품을 압입하면서 정확하고 정밀한 치수 셋팅을 위하여 서버 모타를 이용한 압입 방법을 사용하였습니다.
