In the industry, three-dimensional coloring has been needed for realistic prototype from rapid prototyping. Z-corporation developed a 3D printer which provides three-dimensional colored prototype. However, the existing process cannot be adopted to models from other rapid prototyping process. In addition, time and cost for manufacturing colored prototype still remain to be improved. In this study, a new coloring process using ink-jet head is proposed for color printing on three-dimensional prototype surface. Process parameters such as the angle and the distance between ink-jet nozzle and the three-dimensional surface should be investigated from experiments. The correction matrix according to sloped angle to minimize the distortion of 2D image was proposed by analysis of printing error. Therefore, approximated method for angle and discrete length according to the radius of curvature for printing on the curved surface was proposed. By printing image on the doubly curved surface, the method was verified. As a practical example, helmet was chosen for printing images on the curved surface. The character images were applied with approximated method for angle and discrete length and was printed on the helmet surface.

최근 3차원 프린팅 기술은 비약적으로 발전하여 쾌속조형기술의 대명사가 되고 있다. FDM 방식의 3D프린터는 쾌속조형에 사용되는 가장 일반적인 프린터이지만, 열에 취약하고, 출력물의 표면이 매끄럽지 못하는 등의 문제를 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 FDM방식의 3D프린터로 ABS재질의 시편을 제작하였고, 아세톤에 시편을 담그는 방식으로 후처리를 수행하였다. 공정시간을 변수로 후처리를 진행하였으며, 처음 5초의 후처리 시간동안에는 시편의 표면조도가 급격하게 개선되는 결과를 획득하였으며, 5초 이후에는 표면조도의 변화정도가 미미하였다. 또한, 이러한 후처리 공정은 적지만 시편의 인장강도와 파단변형률을 상승시키는 결과를 나타내었다.

Rapid prototyping(RP) is a novel technology to create 3D products directly from CAD system. This study proposes a new RP method which uses the PZT ceramic plate to make a Drop-On-Demand liquid jet from the nozzle. The characteristic of drop formation in the new system is investigated both numerically and experimentally. The optimal drop for 3-D Printing can be obtained by the proper amplitude and frequency of the applied voltage. Also the process of the drop formation is analyzed using the pressure wave theory and verified by numerical simulation. First, the pressure wave generated by the deformation of the Piezo-plate at the nozzle is analyzed by solving the 2D axisymmetric wave equation via Finite Element Method. Finally, the drop formation process is simulated using a commercial software, FLOW 3D considering the pressure at the nozzle obtained by solving the wave equation as the boundary condition.

Computer aided process planning (CAPP) keeps an important role between the design and manufacturing engineering processes. A CAPP system is a digital link between a computer aided design (CAD) model and manufacturing instructions. CAPP have been researched and applied in manufacturing filed, however, one manufacturing area where CAPP has not been extensively researched is rapid prototyping (RP). RP is a technique for creating directly a three dimensional CAD data into a physical prototype. RP enables to build physical models automatically and to use to reduce the time for the product development cycle as well as to improve the final quality of the designed product. Three-dimensional (3D) printing is one kind of RP that creates three-dimensional objects from CAD models. The paper presents a computer aided process planning system for printing medical products. 3D printing has been used to solve complex medical problems such as surgical instruments, bioengineered products, medical implants, and surgical guides.

인산칼슘 재료는 하이드록시 아파타이트(Hydroxyapatite)와 트리칼슘 포스페이트(Tricalcium-phosphate)를 포함하고 있으며, 인체 골 조직의 무기성분으로 세포 독성이 없고 생체 적합한 성질을 가지고 골 전도성이 있다. 또한 두 재료가 혼합되어 있는 이상 인산칼슘(Biphasic calcium phosphate) 재료는 골 유도성이 있다고 알려져 있다. 이러한 골 조직 재생에 많은 장점을 가지고 있는 인산칼슘 재료는 파우더 타입으로, 3 차원 자유형상의 인공지지체를 제작하는 데 어려움이 있어 고분자 재료에 첨가하여 사용되었다. 본 연구에서는 자유형상 제작 기술을 이용하여 원하는 내/외부 형상을 가지는 3 차원 인산칼슘 인공지지체를 제작하고, 골 조직 재생용 인공지지체로의 사용이 적합한지를 확인하기 위해 MC3T3-E1 를 이용한 세포 증식, 골 조직 분화 실험을 수행하였다.

The process of three-dimensional (3D) printing (also known as "rapid prototyping" and "additive manufacturing") uses computer-created digital models to produce 3D objects with a desired shape by stacking materials through a layer-by-layer process. The industrial potential and feasibility of 3D printing technology were recently highlighted in President Obama's State of the Union address in 2013. Since his speech, worldwide investment in and attention toward 3D printing technology have increased explosively. In addition, a number of 3D printing technology-based start-up companies have been established and evaluated as emerging enterprises making successful business models. In this paper, successful start-up companies (domestic and overseas) based on 3D printing technology will be reviewed.

Recently, the patent rights for 3D printing technology have expired, while 3D printers with RP (Rapid Prototyping or Additive Manufacturing) and 3D printing technologies are receiving attention. In particular, the development of 3D printers is rapid in Korea, thanks to the increasing sales and popularity of FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling or Fused Filament Fabrication) 3D printers. However, the quality and productivity of the FDM 3D Printer are not good, so customers prefer the DLP (Digital Light Processing) method to avoid these shortcomings. The DLP method has high quality and productivity. However, because of the stereolithography equipment, it has few studies compared to optimal values for elements then FDM 3D printing study. In this study, to find the optimal conditions for 3D printing with the DLP method, the aim is to obtain the optimal values (strength, final time, quality) by changing the light exposure time, layer thickness, and z-axis speed.

3차원 쾌속 조형법은 컴퓨터에 저장되어있는 객체 데이터를 이용하여 시제품을 제작하는 기술로써, 기존의 나무나 클레이, 혹은 주조 제작방식과는 달리 원하는 위치에 요구되는 재료를 직접 적층함으로써 원형제품을 제작함을 특징으로 한다. 스테레오리쏘그래피, 용융 점착법, 선택적 레이저 소결법, 판상 제작법 등의 다양한 3차원 쾌속 조형법이 개발되었으나, 그 중에서 잉크젯을 통한 3차원 쾌속 조형법은 잉크화된 조형재료를 통해 구조적으로 기능이 가능한 원형제품의 제작이 가능하다는 특징이 있다. 그러나, 기능성 원형제품의 제작을 위해서는 잉크의 고농도화가 요구되며, 이로 인해 잉크 점도가 상승되어 젯팅 신뢰성이 저하되는 문제점이 있었다. 본 논문에서는 3차원 쾌속 조형법을 위한 최적 젯팅조건을 도출하기 위해 슬러리 타입 세라믹 상변화 잉크의 음파 전달속도 측정과 음파 전달속도가 젯팅에 미치는 영향을 고찰하도록 한다.

Recently, 3D printing technology has gained increased attention in the manufacturing industry because it allows the manufacturing of complex but sophisticated structures as well as moderate production speed. Owing to advantages of 3D printers, such as flexible design, customization, rapid prototyping, and ease of access, can also be advantageous to sensor developments, 3D printing demands have increased in various active device fields, including sensor manufacturing. In particular, 3D printing technology is of significant interest in tactile sensor development where piezoelectric materials are typically embedded to acquire voltage signals from external stimuli. In regard with piezoelectricity, researchers have worked with various piezoelectric materials to achieve high piezoelectric response, but the structural approach is limited because ceramics have been regarded as challenging materials for complex design owing to their limited manufacturing methods. If appropriate piezoelectric materials and approaches to design are used, sensors can be fabricated with the improved piezoelectric response and high sensitivity that cannot be found in common bulk materials. In this study, various 3D printing technologies, material combinations, and applications of various piezoelectric sensors using the 3D printing method are reviewed.
