In recent, rapid manufacturing (RM) technology is widely used to develop an injection mould with a high performance. The objective of this paper is to develop the injection mould with a high productivity using a hybrid RM technology combining Laser-aided Direct Metal Tooling process with a machining process. The geometry decomposition has been utilized to improve the speed of the manufacturing for the mould. Mould with conformal cooling channels has been designed to improve cooling characteristics. Several experiments have been carried out to evaluate characteristics of the mould manufactured from the hybrid RM technology. In addition, injection molding tests have been performed to examine the performance of the manufactured mould. The results of the injection molding tests have been shown that a cooling time and the injection time of the designed mould are reduced to one-fifth and one-second that of the mould with convention cooling channels.

The objective of this research works is to propose a rapid development methodology of small size deep drawing tools for electronic parts utilizing the technology combination of CAE and RP/RT. The technology is applied to the development of deep drawing tools with a drain shape. The final surface of tools is obtained from the evaluation of the formability using the CAE. In order to manufacture the physical prototype of tools fer try-out terming, several fabrication experiments are carried out for three types of rapid tool manufacturing technology. Through the fabrication experiments, the acceptable rapid manufacturing technologies of deep drawing tools with a small size have been proposed.

Rapid prototyping technologies have been widely used to reduce the development cost of new products. Manufacturing industries are nowadays characterized by the flexibility and complexity of products. This to due to the rapid development of manufacturing technology and diverse needs of customers. In this paper, the burning condition for getting casting product of resin pattern have been examined experimentally. In generally, the burning conditions have effect on the casting products. Using the direct casting. we directly producted the jewelry.

주얼리 제품에서 마스터패턴 제작비는 최종제품의 20% 정도로 전체 주얼리제품 시장에서 매우 큰 비중을 차지한다. 기존 주얼리 제품을 제작하는 일반 공정인 ‘디자인 시안→상세도면 제작→1왁스형 제작→석고 플라스크 제작→은 마스터패턴의 제작→왁스패턴의 대량생산→정밀주조→최종제품’의 복잡한 단계를 ‘CAD 디자인 시안→쾌속조형기 듀라폼 음각몰드 제작→저융점 합금으로 마스터패턴 제작→정밀주조→최종제품’의 공정으로 단순화하면서도 대폭시간을 단축할 수 있는 신공정을 제안하였다. 주요공정인 selective laster sintering (SLS)형 쾌속조형기(rapid prototype: RP)를 이용해서 분해온도가 190℃인 듀라폼 분말로 미리 3D CAD로 설계한 직경 20mm의 구, 링 요소를 각각 상하형의 합체형 몰드와 일체형 몰드로 제작하였다. 제작된 몰드에 융점이 70℃인 Pb-Sn-Bi-Cd 저융점 합금을 주입하여 마스터패턴을 제조하였다. 완성된 마스터패턴은 목표형상에 비해 치수 변형율이 2% 이내로 우수하고 주입공정 및 후가공공정이 용이하여 주얼리용 마스터패턴으로 응용이 가능하였다.

In order to realize a three-dimensional shape on CAD, the machining process has been widely used because it offers practical advantages such as precision and versatility. However, the traditional machining process needs a large amount of time in cutting a product and the remained material causes trouble such as inconvenience due to cleaning process. Therefore, a new rapid manufacturing process, Rapid Heat Ablation process (RHA) using the hot tool, has been developed. In this paper, the hot tool for RHA process is designed to minimize radius of heat affected zone. TRIZ well-known as creative problem solving method is applied to overcome the contradictive requirements of the hot tool. For the detailed design of the hot tool, numerical model is established with several assumptions. In order to verify the numerical results, surface temperature of the hot tool is measured with K-type thermocouple at the predetermined location. Numerical and experimental results show that the devised hot tool fulfils its requirements. The practicality and effectiveness of the designed hot tool have been verified through experiments.
