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.

Ceramics are being increasingly used in industry due to their outstanding physical and chemical properties. But these materials are difficult to machine by traditional machining processes, because they are hard and brittle. Recently, as one of various alternative processes, laser-beam machining is widely used in the cutting of ceramics. Although the use of lasers presents a number of advantages over other methods, one of the problems associated with this process is the uncertain formation of cracks that result from the thermal stresses. This paper presents a Bayesian probabilistic modeling of crack formation over thin alumina plates during laser cutting.

Presented in the paper is an algorithm to generate a section curve by slicing a point cloud including tens of thousands of points. Although, there have been previous research results on the slicing problem, they are quite sensitive on the density variations of the point cloud, as well as on the local noise in the point cloud. To relive the difficulties, three technological requirements are identified; 1) dominant point sampling, 2) avoiding local vibration, and 3) robustness on the density changes. To satisfy these requirements, we propose a new slicing algorithm which is based on a node-sphere diagram. The algorithm has been implemented and tested with various examples.

The procedure on the design of a new tungsten cabide throw-away cutting tool system for deep grooving or cut-off machining is suggested. For relieving the maximum stress level at the corner radius of the blade holder, the finite element method is used. Also the pulling test device is proposed for measuring the holding force of the insert between the blade holder and the insert considering the materials in contact and configuration parameters of the holder.

In the continuous cutting process such as turning operation, chip control is thought very important to achieve the unmanned manufacturing system. The prediction of chip breakage under the given conditions is a substantial element for chip control. In this paper, a systematic approach to know the chip breaking region is represented under the concept of equivalent parameters. to Verify the suggested model, cutting experiments are executed with a commercial type and two other type chip breakers which have modified chip breaker parameters such as land width, groove width and nose radius. predicted chip breaking regions using the 3D cutting model agrees with those obtained from the experiments.

The influence of surface preparation methods after plasma cutting on the quality of weld zone was investigated. For comparison, three types of welded specimens were prepared by machining (WM), plasma cutting with light regrinding (WPG) and without regrinding (WP), by using three kinds of materials, carbon steel (SM45C), stainless steel (STS304) and aluminum alloy (A6061-T6). Nondestructive examination, hardness test, microstructure examination, and fracture toughness test were performed. The results showed that there was no appreciable reduction in hardness or fracture toughness in WP specimens. But a little difference in heat affected zone size was observed.

Rapid Prototyping(RP) techniques have their unique characteristics according to the working principles: stair-stepped surface of parts due to layer-by-layer stacking, low build speed caused by line-by-line solidification to build one layer, and additional post processing to improve surface roughness, so it is required very high cost to introduce and to maintain of RP apparatus. The objective of this study is to develop a new RP process, Variable Lamination Manufacturing using linear hotwire cutting technique and expandable polystyrene foam sheet as part material(VLM-S), and to investigate characteristics of part material, cutting characteristics by using linear hotwire cutting system and bonding. Experiments were carried out to investigate mechanical properties of part material such as anisotropy and directional tensile strength. In order to obtain optimal dimensional accuracy, surface roughness, and reduced cutting time, addition experiments were performed to find the relationship between cutting speed and cutting offset of hotwire, and heat generation of hotwire per unit length. So, adhesion strength tests according to ASTM test procedure showed that delamination did not occur at bonded area. Based on the data, a clover-shape was fabricated using unit shape part(USP) it is generated hotwire cutting. The results of present study have been reflected on the enhancement of the VLM-S process and apparatus.

Laser cutting technology is one of flexible rapid manufacturing technologies with various advantageous including a high cutting speed, manufacturing of parts with a complex shape and others. The quality of the cut part and the optimum cutting conditions are highly dependent on the combination of the process parameters. The objective of this research works is to investigate the influence of process parameters, such as power of laser, cutting speed of laser and material thickness, on the surface roughness and the striation formation of the cut section for the case of cutting of CSP 1N sheet using high power Nd:YAG Laser with a continuous wave (CW). In order to find the relationship between process parameters and the surface roughness and the striation formation of the cut section, several experiments are carried out. Through the investigation of the empirical results, it has been shown that the surface roughness is highly related to the striation formation, including the frequency and angle of the striation, of the cut section. From the results of experiments, an optimum cutting speed for each cutting condition has been obtained to improve both the quality of the cut surface and the cutting efficiency.

성형폭약의 조절발파 효과를 확인하기 위하여 정밀폭약에 금속라이너의 재질과 두께를 달리하여 상대적으로 폭속이 작은 암석 절단용 성형폭약을 제작하였다. 성형폭약이 암반 내부에서 기폭될 때 방향성 절단을 유도하기 위하여 폭약 양쪽으로 금속라이너를 부착하였다. 또한 콘크리트 부재 실험을 통하여 성형폭약의 성능을 확인하였고 성형폭약과 공벽과의 적정 이격거리를 유지하기 위한 센터 가이더를 제작하였다. 실험결과 0.8mm 두께의 Fe 라이너가 장착된 성형폭약을 사용할 때 가장 깊은 노치가 형성되었고, 콘크리트 부재의 방향성 절단을 확인할 수 있었다.
