쾌속조형 기술은 3차원 CAD 데이터를 일정한 두께 간격으로 슬라이싱한 각 층을 다양한 방법으로 만들고, 이러한 층을 한층씩 적층하여 원하는 3차원 형상을 신속하게 제작하는 기술이다. 쾌속 조형법은 초기에는 광(beam)에 의해 형상이 만들어진다고 하여 광조형법이라고 불렸다. 그 후 시작품(Prototype)을 신속(Rapid)하게 제작할 수 있다는 사실로부터 'Rapid Prototyping' 또는 '쾌속 조형법' 이라고 불려지게 되었다.(중략)

Direct Metal Manufacturing (DMM) is a new additive process that aims to take die making and metalworking in an entirely new direction. It is the blending of five common technologies : lasers, computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), sensors and powder metallurgy. The resulting process creates parts by focusing an industrial laser beam onto a tool-steel work piece or platform to create a molten pool of metal. A small stream of powdered tool-steel metal is then injected into the melt pool to increase the size of the molten pool. By moving the laser beam back and forth, under CNC control, and tracing out a pattern determined by a computerized CAD design, the solid metal part is built line-by-line, one layer at a time. DMM produces improved material properties in less time and at a lower cast than is possible with traditional fabrication.

산업 현장에서 많이 사용되는 정밀주조법은 왁스형 제작 공정이 수작업으로 이루어지기 때문에 시간과 비용이 많이 소요된다. 이를 쾌속조형기를 이용하여 신속하고 정밀하게 왁스형을 제작하는 공정을 개발하였다. 먼저 3D CAD 데이터를 SLS형 쾌속조형기에서 캐스트폼 분말을 사용하여 캐스트폼형을 만든다. 오븐에서 왁스를 용융시키고 여기에 캐스트폼형을 넣어서 왁스가 캐스트폼형의 공극에 함침되도록 한다. 천천히 냉각시킨 후 꺼내면 왁스형이 완성되며 이를 일반적인 정밀주조공점을 거치면 최종 금속 주물이 완성된다. 이 신공정을 이용함으로서 제작시간과 비용이 크게 단축되었으며 제품의 정밀도가 향상되었다.

신속조형시스템(RP : Rapid Prototyping)용 자료교환 표준인 STL의 자료구조는 단순하고, 조형용 2차원 단면 자료로의 전환이 용이하며, 생산 가공 기술로서의 현대적인 특성(신속성, 조형성, 경제성, 청정성 등)을 가지고 이는 장점이 있는 반면에, STL 3D 좌표값의 기준(좌표계의 원점)이 되는 크기 정보가 없다. 이런 문제를 구현된 STL 뷰어에서는, 스케일링(scaling) 기법과 선형적인 이동 기법을 사용하여 해결하였고, CAD 시스템으로 제작된 파일 자체의 문제점 패싯(facet) 중복, 정밀도, 법선 벡터 값의 오류 등도 검증기(verifier)와 오류 정정기(error corrector)글 구현하여 해결하였다. 제안된 방법으로 구현된 STL 뷰어는 시스템의 안정성과 확장성, 그리고 효율성 측면에서 우수한 성능을 보였으며, 슬라이싱(slicing), 경로 추적기(path tracer)의 전처리기의 역할을 한다.

Direct laser sintering (DLS) technology for the resign coated sand is one of attractive technologies to produce molds and cores for the foundry industry rapidly and cost effectively. The objective of this case study is to develop casting pilot models using computer simulation technology, DLS RP machine and industrial computed tomography. The proposed casting design was verified by the Z-Cast software in the fields of fluid flow and solidification during the casting process. Casting parts with aluminum alloy using the post-curing treated sand moulds and cores are accurate to dimension and defect free.

SL(Stereolithography) part is made by piling up thin layers which causes the stair stepping effect at the surface of SL parts. This effect brings about excessive surface roughness and requires additional post-process finishing such as abrasive techniques that are detrimental to part geometry and time consuming. Hence a wax coating and grinding post-process is proposed to improve the surface quality of SL part. The wax that has suitable properties for the proposed post-process is coated all over the part surface. By grinding the thin layer of coated on the SL part only, the surface roughness can be improved without any damage on the part. From the experimental results, This approach is considered to be very practical fur die casting with RT(Rapid Tooling) techniques.

In this study, a stereolithography apparatus (SLA) prototype is used as a master model to be transformed into the silicone pattern by vacuum tool forming. The tool for the first prototype is fabricated by using this silicone pattern. Following this procedure, a temporary tool with metal powder and epoxy for wax injection is prepared for the die set of quick change type which consists of upper and lower base die나 and an insert die. The die set of quick change type appears to be very effective in casting operation by changing tools rapidly. The original wax pattern is formed through the die set, and is made of lost-was. Finally the lost-wax pattern is applied to investment casting. The final casting product is checked regarding its dimensional accuracy.

SL(Stereolithography) part is made by piling up thin layers which causes the stair stepping effect at the surface of SL parts. The effect brings about excessive surface roughness and cuts down the merits of using SL part. Hence, additional post-machining finishing such as traditional grinding is required. But the traditional post-machining is detrimental to part geometry and time consuming. In this study, therefore, a paraffin coating and grinding post-machining is newly proposed to improve the surface quality of SL fart. The paraffin which has suitable properties for the proposed post-machining is coated all over the part surface. By grinding the only over-coated paraffin based on boundary of the SL part surface, the surface roughness can be improved without any damage on the part. Also, it is verified that SL part finished by the proposed post-machining process can be applied for rapid tooling as pattern through manufacturing silicon rubber molding and casting test.
