Rapid prototyping was used to design and develop a three-dimensional (3D) scaffold for tissue engineering application. In this study, the nozzle guide (TB-CP-HN, MUSASHI ENGINEERING, INC., JAPAN) used with the syringe of the polymer deposition system (PDS) was evaluated by measuring the scaffold line width and height. 3D scaffolds were fabricated using a biodegradable polymer called poly-caprolactone (PCL). The PCL polymer can be deposited from the needle of a syringe using a 200-${\mu}m$ precision nozzle, at a pressure of 600 kPa and temperature of $125^{\circ}C$. The advantages and improvements in this nozzle guide were addressed through washer scaffold fabrication. Overall, this research indicated that the fabrication of a complex-shaped scaffold using an enhanced polymer deposition system may have potential for tissue engineering.

Tissue engineering is an emerging research field that has the potential to restore, regenerate and repair damaged bone tissue and organs. Tricalcium phosphate and hydroxyapatite biomaterials-based calcium phosphate are excellent materials that have both osteoconduction and biocompatibility for bone tissue regeneration. In this study, solution structures were successfully fabricated using a fused deposition modeling system based on deposition and heating devices. The morphology characteristics of the bioceramic scaffolds sintered at a temperature of $1,300^{\circ}C$ were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. The effects of various blended TCP/HA ratio on the microstructure and shrinkage were studied. The mechanical properties of the scaffolds were measured using a compression testing machine from stress-strain curves on the crosshead velocity of 1 mm/min. The fabricated scaffolds were evaluated by cell proliferation tests of MG-63 cells. The results of this study suggest that the blended TCP(75 wt%)/HA(25 wt%) scaffold is an appropriate scaffold for bone tissue regeneration.

Recently, the interest and demand on free formed structure providing aesthetic value as well as functionality has been increasing. Formwork has numerous advantages such as high strength, convenience, accuracy and good quality of surface roughness. Nevertheless, it increases construction cost and period to build complex shapes. For these purpose, deposition construction systems such as Contour Crafting and Concrete Printing have been developed with active collaboration between university and industry by applying the rapid prototyping technology to the construction industry in USA and England. Since there has been no related research in Korea, the possibility of spin-off technology and its fusion cannot be expected. In this paper, design elements including mechanical system and control system related to automatic deposition construction system prototype for constructing a free curved structure without mold are described. As for an appropriate material for the system, fiber reinforced mortar was selected by experiments on compressive strength, fluidity, viscosity and setting time. By performing transfer and extrusion experiments, the possibility of the development of deposition construction system was demonstrated. Based on this research results, it is required to keep the automatic deposition construction system improve and extend it into the new application area in construction industry.

Sheet deposition type rapid prototyping system have many advantages : high build speed, low operating cost, large part size, no phase change, no need for support generation, and forth. However, those sheet deposition type rapid prototyping system require an additional post processing to remove excessive material attached to the part. This post processing is time consuming and labor intensive. Moreover, it is difficult for those system to fabricate parts with hollow cores and internal cavities. A new sheet deposition type rapid prototyping system that minimizes the post processing is proposed. The proposed system automatically removes excessive material in a peeling-off process between two cutting processes. In this way, the proposed system can reduce the post-processing time and cost as well as the limitation of the feasible geometric shapes in the conventional sheet deposition system.

Rapid Prototyping(RP) is an efficient method for rapid design verification and trial manufacturing. In order to improve their unique characteristics according to the working principles. Variable Lamination Manufacturing process and corresponding CAD/CAM system is developed. The objective of this study is to improve dimensional accuracy of VLM-ST process, and it can be done by offset for cutting error correction, cutting path correction for sharp edge and reference shape generation. To verify the proposed algorithms, they applied to three-dimensional shapes, such as spanner and mechanical part.

VLM-ST process requires an additional human interaction due to the manual stacking and bonding. Hence, building time, building cost and the part quality are dependent on the skill of labor. In this present work, a novel rapid prototyping (RP) process, as an automatic VLM-ST (VLM-STA), has been proposed to improve building efficiency of VLM-ST process and reliability of products. The apparatus of VLM-STA is designed to embody the process. Several characteristics of the proposed process and the apparatus are discussed. In order to examine the efficiency and the applicability of the proposed process, various three-dimensional shapes, such as a piston and a human head shape, are fabricated on the apparatus.

A novel process is newly developed for building RP(Rapid Prototyping) parts using a sheet lamination technique. The build process of existing sheet lamination type RP machines consists of the following steps : feeding, lamination and cutting. In this process, the laminated part of an object is often scratched by a cutter or damaged by a laser beam due to the cutting operation preceded by lamination, In addition, decubing of the unused portion from the laminated block is difficult. In the new process, cutting operation is performed before lamination. The cutting operation takes place while a paper sheet is firmly attached on the plate using electrostatic force. Then liquid glue is applied to the calculated region of the given contour for lamination. The process aims to manufacture a $2k RP machine, what we call the Freeform Mater I, that can use A4 or latter-size used papers. A prototype machine that demonstrates the design concept is built and further research issues are discussed.
