In this paper, a high precision straightness measurement system has been developed at low cost using a visible laser and CMOS image sensor. CMOS image sensor detected optical image and the variation of straightness was calculated by image processing. We have observed that the error of the developed straightness measurement system was 0.9% when a distance of 3m between laser and image sensor. And it can be applied to 3D printer and any other areas.

Femur is the largest bone in the human body which supports the weight of body. A long pipeline shape of femur has little cancellous bone, so that regeneration is difficult when fracture happens. The fracture caused by an accident most frequently occurs at diaphysis. IM Nailing is the surgical method that implants an IM Nail into a medullary cavity for the fixation of fracture parts. However, a secondary fracture may happen if an IM Nail does not penetrate at the center of femur. In this study, a patient-specific femur was manufactured by a 3D printer using the computed tomography images scanned before surgery, which was used for the simulation of IM Nailing. It is expected that this result may prevent the secondary damage, reduce surgical operation time, and increase the precision.

In this study, shielding analysis of material and thickness of 3D printer filaments was performed for the manufacture of custom shielding by radiation workers during outdoor radiographic test. The shielding was attached to the ICRU Slab Phantom after selecting the voxel source $^{192}Ir$ and $^{75}Se$ through simulation using MCNPX, and the distance between the source and the slab Phantom was set at 100 cm. The 12 shielding materials were divided into 5 mm units up to 200 mm from the absence of shielding materials to evaluate the energy absorbed per unit mass of each shielding material. The results showed that the shielding effect was high in the order of ABS + Tungsten, ABS + Bismuth, PLA + Copper, PLA + Iron from all sources of radiographic test. However, compared to lead, the shielding effect was somewhat lower. Based on this study in the future, further study of the atomic number and the high density filament material is necessary.

Studies on the fabrication of UAV by using 3D printer have been actively carried out. However, research on structural load characteristics in low temperature environment is insufficient. In this study, a composite sandwich structure with ordinary orbs structure was proposed, and the load characteristics for temperature condition changes were analyzed. The ordinary orbs and honeycomb structures were fabricated by using a FDM type 3D printer. The bending load test was carried out at room temperature and low temperature condition. The low temperature condition was classified into four cases. Bending load tests were performed in a low temperature chamber to maintain the required temperature conditions. As a result of the test, it was confirmed that the proposed ordinary orbs structure had better load characteristics at low temperatures than the existing honeycomb structure.

This study aim to verify the difference in muscle activity due to difference in the direction of the stroking method for the stroke direction of the muscles using a tool made by a 3D printer. The subjects were conducted with 20 healthy adults in their 20s, and IASTM applied the intervention of the perpendicular stroking on the direction of muscle driving and intervention of the pararell stroking on the direction of muscle driving, with 10 each deployed. All subjects measured the muscle activity before intervention, and the muscle activity was measured and compared with the independent T test and the paired T test. The results of this study showed a significant increase in muscle activity in vertical groups, although the muscle activity in horizontal groups decreased. It was that differences in direction are significant in the application of IASTM.

The purpose of this study is to develop the STEAM program using 3D printer and to verify its effectiveness and students' satisfaction in order to draw implications and suggest the future directions. To design the alternative instructional framework utilizing the 3D printer, we used the learning standards of 'presenting the situation', 'creative design', and 'emotional experience' for the 3rd to 4th grade and 5th and 6th graders in elementary school. As a result of the experiment, statistically significant results were obtained about 'interest', 'care and communication', 'self-directed learning', 'career choice for science and engineering'. According to the students' satisfaction survey, students responded that they are interested in general, they can learn various subjects in relation to existing the regular classes, and that they have lots of making and experiencing activities.

Nowadays, additive manufacturing (AM) technology is a promising process to fabricate complex shaped devices applied in medical and dental services. Among the AM processes, a DLP (digital light processing) type 3D printing process has some advantages, such as high precision, relatively low cost, etc. In this work, we propose a simple method to fabricate precise dental models using a DLP 3D printer. After 3D printing, a part is commonly post-cured using secondary UV-curing equipment for complete polymerization. However, some shrinkage occurs during the post-curing process, so we adaptively control the UV-exposure time on each layer for over- or under-curing to change the local shape-size of a part in the DLP process. From the results, the shrinkage amounts in the post-curing process vary due to the UV-dose in 3D printing. We believe that the proposed method can be utilized to fabricate dental models precisely, even with a change of the 3D CAD model.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the flexural properties and perform the Weibull analysis of photo-curing three-dimensional (3D) printing resin. Methods: Photo-curing temporary resin (3D polymer) was used as a printing resin. Specimens (65 × 10 × 3.3 ㎣) were prepared following the ISO 20975-1 guidelines and according to the different printing orientations using a digital light processing 3D printer (D2 120; Dentium). The flexural strength (FS), flexural modulus, and work of fracture (WOF) were measured using a universal testing machine (Instron 3344; Instron) at a crosshead speed of 5 mm/min. Results: In this study, the 0° orientation exhibited higher FS and WOF than the 45° orientation. Significant differences were found among the printing orientations (p<0.05). Specimens printed at the 0° orientation were the most accurate. In the Weibull analysis, 0° showed the greatest Weibull modulus (m), which represents a higher reliability. Conclusion: 3D printing should be selected and used by considering flexural properties, size accuracy, and reliability.

In order to improve and supplement the shielding method for electron beam treatment, we designed a patient-specific shielding method using a 3D printer, and evaluated the usefulness by comparing and analyzing the distribution of electron beam doses to adjacent organs. In order to treat 5 cm sized superficial tumors around the lens, a CT Simulator was used to scan the Alderson Rando phantom and the DICOM file was converted into an STL file. The converted STL file was used to design a patient-specific shield and mold that matched the body surface contour of the treatment site. The thickness of the shield was 1 cm and 1.5 cm, and the mold was printed using a 3D printer, and the patient customized shielding block (PCSB) was fabricated with a cerrobend alloy with a thickness of 1 cm and 1.5 cm. The dosimetry was performed by attaching an EBT3 film on the surface of the Alderson Rando phantom eyelid and measuring the dose of 6, 9, and 12 MeV electron beams on the film using four shielding methods. Shielding rates were 83.89%, 87.14%, 87.39% at 6, 9, and 12 MeV without shielding, 1 cm (92.04%, 87.48%, 86.49%), 1.5 cm (91.13%, 91.88% with PSCB), 92.66%) The shielding rate was measured as 1 cm (90.7%, 92.23%, 88.08%) and 1.5 cm (88.31%, 90.66%, 91.81%) when the shielding block and the patient-specific shield were used together. PCSB fabrication improves shielding efficiency over conventional shielding methods. Therefore, PSCB may be useful for clinical application.

Digital designs that appear in the three-dimensional virtual space by the digital type are designed as there is not an image created with an organic artificially generated (Creation) and representation (Modifying), developed by the specific environment given. The advanced digital design will produce a result with an algorithm according to a mathematical operation and the environment and has the nature of generating the real world, changes, development and affinity (Genetic Process). The digital design process is largely defined by a set of processes that are consistently designed to integrate form of creation, reproduction, proceeds in three steps, while the manufacture and assembly as a form of maintenance as possible the intended form of control data from the concept of building. By Joris Laarman 3D printer design is a simulation created by the digital process by the various algorithms and design achieved through the development of 3D printers, such as new materials and MX3D. From the mold production of a complex whole by using a robot and other digital production tool extracts a variety of forms.
