In this study, a stereolithography apparatus (SLA) prototype is used as a master model to be transformed into the silicone pattern by vacuum tool forming. The tool for the first prototype is fabricated by using this silicone pattern. Following this procedure, a temporary tool with metal powder and epoxy for wax injection is prepared for the die set of quick change type which consists of upper and lower base die나 and an insert die. The die set of quick change type appears to be very effective in casting operation by changing tools rapidly. The original wax pattern is formed through the die set, and is made of lost-was. Finally the lost-wax pattern is applied to investment casting. The final casting product is checked regarding its dimensional accuracy.

Nozzle ring is an important part of turbocharger which is applied to today's most diesel engines. Turbo charger nozzle ring is difficult to process and takes a high cost and a long time relatively. For this reason, it is largely produced by using a precision casting. Investment method, the representative technology of precision casting, has excellent dimensional accuracy and can produce complex shapes relatively easily. However, it is difficult to avoid the casting defects such as shrinkage cavity and short shot. This study is to predict the casting defects which could be occurred during the investment method by use of finite element analysis software and to design the process and mold of the marine turbocharger nozzle ring.

The semi-solid casting will have a higher internal integrity, mechanical properties and dimensional accuracy than the conventional castings. This process can reduce the manufacturing costs and finished weight for critical components. The semi-solid casting are capable of greater dimensional repeatbility, this supplies considerable savings when extensive machining, salvage and scrap are key variables in the current automotive product. One of the most important factor regarding the semi-solid die casting process are the reheating method of the raw materials to the semi-solid state. Therefore, in this present work, the horizontal type induction heating system to obtain the optimal reheating conditions suitable for semi-solid die casting process was designed and manufactured. And the microstructure of reheated materials was investigated.

PURPOSE. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the accuracy of three techniques for correction of cast implant bars. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Thirty cast implant bars were fabricated on a metal master model. All cast implant bars were sectioned at 5 mm from the left gold cylinder using a disk of 0.3 mm thickness, and then each group of ten specimens was corrected by gas-air torch soldering, laser welding, and additional casting technique. Three dimensional evaluation including horizontal, vertical, and twisting measurements was based on measurement and comparison of (1) gap distances of the right abutment replica-gold cylinder interface at buccal, distal, lingual side, (2) changes of bar length, and (3) axis angle changes of the right gold cylinders at the step of the post-correction measurements on the three groups with a contact and non-contact coordinate measuring machine. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and paired t-test were performed at the significance level of 5%. RESULTS. Gap distances of the cast implant bars after correction procedure showed no statistically significant difference among groups. Changes in bar length between pre-casting and post-correction measurement were statistically significance among groups. Axis angle changes of the right gold cylinders were not statistically significance among groups. CONCLUSION. There was no statistical significance among three techniques in horizontal, vertical and axial errors. But, gas-air torch soldering technique showed the most consistent and accurate trend in the correction of implant bar error. However, Laser welding technique, showed a large mean and standard deviation in vertical and twisting measurement and might be technique-sensitive method.

몰입 가상현실 환경에서 가상 객체들을 선택하고 조작하기 위해서는 사용자가 원하는 가상 객체를 빠르고 정확하게 선택할 수 있어야 한다. 가상현실에서 객체 선택을 위한 가장 알려진 접근 방법은 Ray-casting 방법이다. Ray-casting은 가상현실 환경에서 사용자의 손이나 시야 방향에서 직선으로 이동하는 가상의 선을 발사하고, 이 가상의 선이 발사되는 과정에서 충돌되는 가상 객체를 사용자가 선택할 수 있게 해주는 방법이다. 하지만, 가상 객체들이 겹쳐져 있는 상황에서는 사용자가 원하는 객체가 아닌 다른 객체들이 선택 될 수 있는 모호성 문제가 발생하게 된다. 이러한 방법을 해결하기 위해서 본 논문에서는 겹쳐진 가상 객체들 중 사용자가 원하는 객체를 선택하고자 하는 경우, 사용자가 겹쳐진 객체들의 그룹을 먼저 선택하게 한 후에 이 겹쳐진 객체들이 가지고 있는 기하학적인 연관관계를 계산하고 이를 사용자의 시점에서 겹쳐지지 않게 펼쳐서 시각화를 하는 Explosion-casting 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법의 평가를 위해서 기존의 Ray-casting 방법과 비교를 하였을 때, 겹쳐져 있는 가상 객체를 선택할 때 걸리는 속도와 정확도가 증가하는 결과를 보여주었다.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the fitting accuracy of single crowns made from a novel presintered Co-Cr alloy prepared with a computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technique, as compared with crowns manufactured by other digital and the conventional casting technique. Additionally, the influence of oxide layer on the fitting accuracy of specimens was tested. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A total of 40 test specimens made from Co-Cr alloy were investigated according to the fitting accuracy using a replica technique. Four different methods processing different materials were used for the manufacture of the crown copings (milling of presintered (Ceramill Sintron-group_cer_sin) or rigid alloy (Tizian NEM-group_ti_nem), selective laser melting (Ceramill NPL-group_cer_npl), and casting (Girobond NB-group_gir_nb)). The specimens were adapted to a resin model and the outer surfaces were airborne-particle abraded with aluminum oxide. After the veneering process, the fitting accuracy (absolute marginal discrepancy and internal gap) was evaluated by the replica technique in 2 steps, before removing the oxide layer from the intaglio surface of the crowns, and after removing the layer with aluminum oxide airborne-particle abrasion. Statistical analysis was performed by multifactorial analysis of variance (ANOVA) (α=.05). RESULTS. Mean absolute marginal discrepancy ranged between 20 ㎛ (group_cer_npl for specimens of Ceramill NPL) and 43 ㎛ (group_cer_sin for crowns of Ceramill Sintron) with the oxide layer and between 19 ㎛ and 28 ㎛ without the oxide layer. The internal gap varied between 33 ㎛ (group_ti_nem for test samples of Tizian NEM) and 75 ㎛ (group_gir_nb for the base material Girobond NB) with the oxide layer and between 30 ㎛ and 76 ㎛ without the oxide layer. The absolute marginal discrepancy and the internal gap were significantly influenced by the fabrication method used (P<.05). CONCLUSION. Different manufacturing techniques had a significant influence on the fitting accuracy of single crowns made from Co-Cr alloys. However, all tested crowns showed a clinically acceptable absolute marginal discrepancy and internal gap with and without oxide layer and could be recommended under clinical considerations. Especially, the new system Ceramill Sintron showed acceptable values of fitting accuracy so it can be suggested in routine clinical work.

In this research article, scheduling a casting sequence in a job-shop type foundry involving a variety of casts made of an identical alloy but with different shapes and II weights, has been investigated. The objective is to produce the assigned mixed orders satisfying due dates and obtaining the highest ingot efficiency simultaneously. Implementing simple integer programming instead of complicated genetic algorithms accompanying rigorous calculations proves that it can provide a feasible solution with a high accuracy for a complex, multi-variable and multi-constraint optimization problem. Enhancing the ingot efficiency under the constraint of discrete ingot sizes is accomplished by using a simple and intelligible algorithm in a standard integer programming. Employing this simple methodology, a job-shop type foundry is able to maximize the furnace utilization and minimize ingot waste.
