To reduce design period, demands for rapid prototyping system is increasing. Among the rapid prototyping system, as a concept modeler, 3D Printer appears before the footlights. In spite of short production time and convenience, 3D Printer causes post processing problem. And that is too slow to adapt to the demand of workshop. In this research, we developed a system for reducing build time and roughness using splitting operation. Also, propose BFS(B-rep For STL) data structure to maintain model data, split STL model and implement Euler Operation for input and output.

This paper focuses on the development of RT technology suitable for manufacturing a small quantity of metal prototype of a precise part from an RP master. Dimensional accuracy and surface roughness are evaluated from Thermojet part of a 3D printer, and effective post-processing method is introduced. Investment casting is done using a prototype built from 3D printer as a wax pattern. Ceramic shell investment casting technique is developed to build a prototype with materials mostly wanted. Also, experimental result shows this research is very useful in manufacturing of a small quantity of functional part or a test part of a specific material.
