쾌속조형 기술은 3차원 CAD 데이터를 일정한 두께 간격으로 슬라이싱한 각 층을 다양한 방법으로 만들고, 이러한 층을 한층씩 적층하여 원하는 3차원 형상을 신속하게 제작하는 기술이다. 쾌속 조형법은 초기에는 광(beam)에 의해 형상이 만들어진다고 하여 광조형법이라고 불렸다. 그 후 시작품(Prototype)을 신속(Rapid)하게 제작할 수 있다는 사실로부터 'Rapid Prototyping' 또는 '쾌속 조형법' 이라고 불려지게 되었다.(중략)

3D rapid prototyping is the manufacturing technology to fabricate a prototype with the data stored in a computer, which differs from conventional casting technology in terms of an additive process. Various 3D rapid prototyping techniques such as stereolithograpy. fused deposition modeling. selective laser sintering, laminated object manufacturing have been developed but among them, 3D inkjet printing has a unique feature that materials could be jetted to directly form the body of a prototype, which could be a finished product functionally and structurally. However, this needs ink with a high solid content, which tends to increase the dynamic viscosity of ink. The increase of ink viscositytends to restrict the jettable range of ink and hence the jetting conditions should be optimized. The intrinsic speed of sound in a hot melt ink with ceramic nanoparticles dispersed is one of key components to determine the jettable range of ink. In this paper, the way to measure the intrinsic speed of sound in a hot melt ceramic ink is proposed and its influence on the jetting condition is discussed.

산업 현장에서 많이 사용되는 정밀주조법은 왁스형 제작 공정이 수작업으로 이루어지기 때문에 시간과 비용이 많이 소요된다. 이를 쾌속조형기를 이용하여 신속하고 정밀하게 왁스형을 제작하는 공정을 개발하였다. 먼저 3D CAD 데이터를 SLS형 쾌속조형기에서 캐스트폼 분말을 사용하여 캐스트폼형을 만든다. 오븐에서 왁스를 용융시키고 여기에 캐스트폼형을 넣어서 왁스가 캐스트폼형의 공극에 함침되도록 한다. 천천히 냉각시킨 후 꺼내면 왁스형이 완성되며 이를 일반적인 정밀주조공점을 거치면 최종 금속 주물이 완성된다. 이 신공정을 이용함으로서 제작시간과 비용이 크게 단축되었으며 제품의 정밀도가 향상되었다.

기존 쾌속조형시스템의 단점을 보완하기 위해 본 연구팀에서 개발한 쾌속조형시스템을 수직절단에 의해 층별 성형할 경우 가공된 물체의 표면에 계단형 표면과 같은 왜곡현상이 발생한다. 이러한 왜곡 현상을 보완하기 위해 수직절단이 아닌 경사절단하여 계단형 윤곽과 같은 표면 왜곡의 문제점을 보완하고자 한다. 최적의 경사절단선분을 구하기 위해 경사절단선분의 길이와 중간층 점의 거리를 정의하여 이를 최소화하는 에너지 함수를 구현하였다. 에너지를 최소화하기 위한 알고리즘으로 급강하법을 사용하였으나, 이 방법은 에너지가 작아지는 방향으로만 움직이기 때문에 물체의 윤곽이 복잡할 경우 최적이 아닌 다른 위치에 귀착하는 지역적 최적해가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 지역적 최적해를 벗어나 최적의 경사절단선분을 찾기 위해 유전자 알고리즘을 사용하였다. 유전자 알고리즘을 사용할 경우, 급강하법에서 발생하였던 지역적 최적해 문제가 해결되어 최적의 위치를 찾을 수 있었다.

The investment casting process is used frequently to manufacture precise and complex shape metal parts. The previous wax pattern manufacturing process takes long time and high costs because the process is performed by hands. In order to improve the wax manufacturing process, a new process is developed to manufacture the wax pattern by using a rapid prototyping system. A CastForm pattern is made by a Selective laser Sintering type RP with CastForm powder. The CastForm pattern is dipped in the melted wax liquid, and the melted wax penetrates into the pores of the CastForm pattern. Wax pattern is obtained after cooling the CastForm pattern slowly. A stainless steel part has been manufactured by the suggested process. By obtaining the suggested process the manufacturing time and costs are reduced largely and the accuracy is improved.

In this work, rapid prototyping and three-dimensional finite element analysis are simultaneously applied to the die design of metal forming processes. Rapid prototyping is a new prototyping technology which produces three-dimensional part models directly from CAD data and has been extensively applied to various manufacturing processes. There are many types of rapid prototyping systems due to their building principles and materials. In this work, Stereolithography Apparatus(SLA), which is the most widely used rapidprototyping system, is introduced to manufacture the die set. For general preparation of STL file, which is the standard input file of rapid prototyping system, mesh data which are used in describing the die surface in finite element analysis are translated so that rapid prototyping and finite element analysis are dffectively connected. A die set for spider forging and a clover punch for deep drawing section are manufactured effciently using SLA prototypes, and metal forming experiments are carried out using them. Comparing the result of experiments with that of analyses, the processes can be predicted and designed successfully.

Rapid prototyping for welding and milling is a hybrid approach that makes use of welding as additive and conventional milling as subtractive technique. For two years this concept has been used to verify manufacturing mold and mechanical parts successfully. In latest new fabrication methods. For example, manufacturing mold for two sort of materials and shell fabrication, have been applied to the concept in KIST. This methods will be an alternative proposal in rapid prototyping. Metal deposition for welding causes the part to deform. It is a handicap in our proceeding. To overcome this problem, in this paper, we represent an optimal welding path for FEM analysis. Eight paths are tried to this and the value of deformation is average and standard deviation in four points'. Then we can compare with eight cases and select the optimal path.

The purpose of this study is the development of the extensive Rapid Prototyping Technique, which can resolve the long-term manufacturing process, shrinkage and deformation occurring rapid prototyping technique. To begin with, the various specimens for tensile and bending test were manufactured on the basis of this modeling technology. Then, many kinds of the laminate pieces for the test were made by using the sheet steels 1 mm and 2 mm thickness which is composed of the same ingredient. Not only the mechanical strength of the both of the laminate specimens by the developed Rapid Prototyping using projection welding and non-laminate specimens of 5 mm thickness were evaluated, but the mechanical strength of the specimens of the tensile and bending test composed of heterogeneous components were also estimated.
