I present a novel curvature profilometer devised fur the profile measurement of aspheric and free-form surfaces on the nanometer scale. A profile is reconstructed from measuring the curvature of a test part of the surface at several locations along a line. For profile measurement of free-farm surfaces, methods based on local part curvature sensing have strong appeal. Unlike full-aperture interferometry they do not require customized null optics. The measurement accuracy of the curvature profilometer was assessed by comparison with a well-calibrated interferometer in NIST. Experimental results prove that the maximum discrepancy turns out to be 37 nm on the 28 mm measurement range for the spherical mirror.

We propose a new variant of lateral shearing interferometer with a tunable laser source that enables 3D surface profile measurements of freeform optics with high speed, high vertical resolution, large departure, and large field-of-view. We have verified the proposed technique by comparing our measurement result with that of an existing technique and measuring a representative sample of freeform optics. Moreover, we propose a new algorithm that is able to compensate the rotational inaccuracy.

Kinematics of grasping and manipulation by a multi-fingered robotic hand where multi-fingertip surfaces are in contact with an object is solved. The surface of the object was represented by B-spline surfaces in order to model the objects of various shapes. The fingers were modeled by cylindrical links and a half ellipsoid fingertip. Geometric equations of contact locations have been solved for all possible contact combinations between the fingertip surface and the object. The simulation system calculated joint displacements and contact locations for a given trajectory of the object. Since there are no closed form solutions for contact or intersection between these surfaces, kinematics of grasping was solved by recursive numerical calculation. The initial estimate of the contact point was obtained by approximating the B-spline surface to a polyhedron. As for the simulation of manipulation, exact contact locations were updated by solving the contact equations according to the given contact states such as pure rolling, twist-rolling or slide-twist-rolling. Several simulation examples of grasping and manipulation are presented.

Three-dimensional (3D) microfabrication process using two-photon polymerization (TPP) is developed to fabricate the curved microstructures in a layer, which can be applied potentially to optical MEMS, nano/micro-devices, etc. A 3D curved structure can be expressed using the same height-contours that are defined by symbolic colors which consist of 14 colors. Then, the designed bitmap figure is transformed into a multi-exposure voxel matrix (MVM). In this work a multi-exposure voxel matrix scanning method is used to generate various heights of voxels according to each laser exposure time that is assigned to the symbolic colors. An objective lens with a numerical aperture of 1.25 is employed to enlarge the variation of a voxel height in the range of 1.2 to 6.4 um which can be controlled easily using the various exposure time. Though this work some 3D curved micro-shapes are fabricated directly to demonstrate the usefulness of the process without a laminating process that is generally required in a micro-stereolithography process.

Cylindrical lens core for optical transceiver was designed and machined. With the lens design data, WC asymmetric core surface data were generated for non-revolutional ultra-precision grinding. Grinding process for optimum machining conditions of target surface was studied in terms of surface roughness and form profile. We used experimental results to optimize turbine speed, feed-rate and depth of cut with durable grinding wheel wear. Ground WC cores were measured contact type profilers and verified.

형상모델링(Geometric Modeling)은 컴퓨터 기술의 발전과 더불어 실제 3차원 물체를 정확하게 표현하려는 형태로발전하였다. 와이어프레임 모델링(Wireframe Modeling) 기술은 3차원 형상을 빠르게 모델링하고 이로 부터 치수 기입이 된 정확한 2차원 도면의 생성을 가능하게 하였다. 그러나, 면을 표현할 수 없기 때문에 모델의 표현이 모호해질 수 있다. 1960년대에 자유곡면의 가공을 위해 개발된 곡면 모델링(Surface Modeling) 기법은 NC 가공과 컴퓨터를 이용한 금형의 제작을 가능하게 했고 와이어프레임 모델링보다는 더 상세하게 모델 을 표현할 수 있게 되었다. 본 연구의 목적은 개방형 구조를 갖는 복합다양체 모델러에서의 불리안 작업을 구현하고 이의 결과를 가시화 하는데 있으며 개략적인 개방형 형상 모델링 시스템 Fig.1과 같다

This paper proposes methods for pencil machining and uncut area machining. Based on Z-map represented by triangular facets, self-intersection-free offset surface is generated with K-offset method in case of ball mill and flat mill Pencil machining can elliminate overload area before main machining rough, semi-finish and finish cutting,preventing fluctuations of cutting forces in concave regions form causing bad machining condition. Low productivity is caused by uncut area which has excessive or irreguar finishing allowance. Uncut area machining has the finishing allowance keep uniformly on part surface. This paper deals with two types of uncaut area, machining detection of excessive area and user-defined area.

In this paper we deal with tool interference problem in the case of compound surface machining. A new tool interference detection and correction method based on the envelope of the tool path is suggested to identify and correct the tool interference - not only within the local path of tool movement, but also outside of the tool path. Therefore, the developed strategy can be used to check the possible interference in any region of the surface. In order to analyze quantitatively the milled surface error produced by the tool interference, improved surface prediction model is also suggested in cutting process by general cutters. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through simulation study.

Various geometric modeling techniques for a hull have been developed with wide application of computer to the ship design. Up to now, they are used for the representation of the sculptured surface with the piecewise polynominal curves or surfaces for a conventional hull. In this paper, a convenient and accurate modeling technique that is instancing and blending of the geometry primitives is introduced for a non-conventional hull such as SWATH, trimaran, caisson etc. Geometric characteristics, hydrostatic particulars and stability of the definded hull are calculated.
