Rapid Prototyping technology has many advantages such as Rapid Tooling. However, Using the RT technique is limited by the poor surface quality of the RP part. Thus, additional post-machining is required for improving the surface roughness by the sanding, grinding and polishing etc. But, these traditional finishing techniques are time and labor cost consuming. Hence, improving and formulation the finishing technique is inevitably necessary for the RF part. A new post-machining methodology for RP part is presented by the SLS part is used for automobile components in this research. Also, a web based interface tool that user requirements are rapidly ordered for post-machining RP part is developed.

The technology of rapid prototyping (RP) is used for design verification, function test and fabrication of prototype. The current issues in RP are improvement in accuracy and application of various materials. In this paper, a hybrid rapid prototyping system is introduced which can fabricate nano composites using various materials. This hybrid system adopts RP and machining process, so material deposition and removal is performed at the same time in a single station. As examples, micro gears and a composite scaffold were fabricated using photo cured polymer with nano powders such as carbon black and hydroxyapatite. From the micro gear samples the hybrid RP technology showed higher precision than those made by casting or deposition process.

There are more than five dozen different RP(rapid prototyping) systems in the world and they are fairly expensive. All those systems have different capabilities and requirements in that each of them gives different tolerance, application field and part strength, etc. This situation may cause a problem of selecting an appropriate RP system. This paper presents an expert system, utilizing an algorithm that is composed up of rules to derive recommendations and answers to queries of the RP users. The expert system incorporates RP machines commercially available and adopts multi-selection criteria, namely, machine price, accuracy, build size, adopted process, etc. In the expert system, forward reasoning method is adopted and external spreadsheet for sub-data of the RP systems is used. The rules and knowledge are obtained from interviews and discussions with RP vendors and users, appropriate research publications and other reference materials.

In order to reduce the lead-time and cost, many useful methods have been applied to rapid prototyping (RP) in recent years. But cutting process is still considered as one of the effective RP methods that have been developed and currently available in the industry. It also offers practical advantages in aspects of precision and versatility. However, traditional 3-axis NC machining has some inherent limitations such as the restriction of tool accessibility and the complex setup. In this work, a new rapid prototyping system with high speed 5-axis machining of plastics has been developed to overcome those limitations. And cutting experiments were conducted to determine the design factors of the system and the cutting conditions of plastics. The architecture of developed system is described in detail and the successful application examples are presented.

In this paper, benchmark tests of Rapid Prototyping(RP) are presented to evaluate characteristics of various RP Systems and Processes, and several decision-support systems are developed to select RP Machine/Process suitable to user's requirements. Results of the RP benchmark tests are applied to the recently developed RP machines for the purpose of analyzing attributes such as dimensional accuracy, surface roughness, build cost, build time, and etc. Decision-making support systems are also developed, which contain not only new LCE (Linear Confidence Equation) algorithm but also modified PRES and MDS algorithm. Those algorithms are proved to be effective in that reasonably acceptable results are obtained on several cases of different inputs.

최근 디지털 기술이 발달하면서 임플란트 식립 시 가이드 템플릿을 이용하는 컴퓨터 가이드 수술이 활발하게 이루어지고 있으며, 임플란트 보철시 구강스캐너를 이용하는 방법이 소개되고 있다. 가이드 템플릿의 제작방법은 크게 RP 제작 시스템과 벡터 밀링 시스템으로 나눌 수 있는데, 각각은 우수한 정확성에도 불구하고 임상적 적용에 있어 약간의 아쉬운 점을 보이고 있다. 이에 본 증례에서는 CBCT 및 구강스캐너로 획득한 디지털 영상을 이용하여 쾌속조형법으로 왁스재료의 작업모형을 제작하고 그 위에 교정용 레진으로 금속애관을 픽업해 내는 방법을 사용하여 임플란트 수술용 가이드 템플릿을 제작하여 수술에 사용하였으며, 임상적으로 임플란트 식립 및 최종보철물 제작 시 만족스러운 결과를 얻을 수 있어서 이를 보고하고자 한다.

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.

The rapid prototyping (RP) technology has been advanced for various applications such as verification of design, functional test. However, many RP machines still have low accuracy and limitation of applications for various materials. In this research, a hybrid RP system was developed to improve precision of micro parts. This hybrid system consists of deposition and material removal process by mechanical micro machining to fabricate nano composites using photo-curable polymer resin with various nano particles. In this work, using hybrid RP process with Multi-Walled Carbon Nano Tube (MWCNT) and hydroxyapatite, micro parts were fabricated. The precision of parts was evaluated based on the original CAD design, and to see the effect of nano particles on mechanical properties, tensile strength was measured. From the results of experiments, it was confirmed that the part made by hybrid process had higher precision, and the addition of nano particles improved mechanical properties.

본 연구에서는 다양한 재료의 시트(Sheet)를 각각 절단하여 적층하는 방법으로 기존 적층조형법과는 다른 쾌속 임의형상제작 시스템인 CAFL/sup VM/(Computer Aided Fabrication of Lamination for Various Material)을 제안한다. 이러한 조형 방법은 가공 속도를 빠르게 하며 복잡한 후처리 과정을윽 대폭 줄일 수 있고, 여러 가지 재료가 사용 가능한 장점을 지니고 있다. 이러한 목적으로 개발된 2자유도의 X-Y테이블 형태의 CAFL/sup VM/은 레이저빔으로 시트(Sheet)를 절단, 적층하여 조형물을 완성하는 새로운 고속적층 시스템으로 가능성을 검증하였다. 하지만 2자유도 시스템은 X-Y 평면을 이동하는 작업공간에 수직으로 레이저 가공이 이루어지는 방법으로, 조형된 사물의 표면에 계단 형상이 나타나는 표면정밀도상의 문제점을 드러낸다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하고자 2자유도에 3자유도를 추가한 5자유도 시스템을 제안하여 레이저의 경사절단이 가능하게 함으로서 조형된 사물의 표면 정밀도를 높이고, 일정한 패턴의 모양을 갖는 조형물 가공의 경우 여러 시트(Sheet)가 적층되는 부분을 한번에 가공할 수 있도록 하여 보다 빠르고 정밀한 5자유도 매니퓰레이터 CAFL/sup VM/ 시스템을 설계한다. 즉, 정속경로제어와 경사각절단제어를 구현하고 그 외에 수반된 자동화 CAFL/sup VM/ 시스템을 구현하는 것이 본 논문의 목적이다.
