On purpose of relative comparison of between air-vent attached pattern and non attached one, casting tests were accomplished by castability analysis unrig wax screen mesh pattern. Experimental specimens are divided Into 4groups. 1) Air-vent attached pattern with high casting pressure(coil spring type centrifugal casting machine 2.5turn). 2) Air-vent attached pattern with low casting pressure(coil spring type centrifugal casting machine 1.5turn). 3) Air vent non attached pattern with high casting pressure(coil spring type centrifugal casting machine 2.5turn). 4) Air-vent non attached pattern with low casting pressure(coil spring type centrifrgal casting machine 1.5turn). The main results are as follows : 1) The condition of high casting pressure no.1, no.3 were showed perfect castability. 2) The condition of low-casting pressure, there is a wide difference between no.2, no.4 group. Castability of no.2 group preferable to no.4 group(p<0.001). 3) Low casting pressure and complex shape cause the low-castability. So it is recommanded that use of air-vent in case of complex shaped wax pattern with low easting pressure.

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.

Rapid Prototyping is a prototyping technology that produces complicated parts directly form three dimensional CAD data with high efficiency, and has been extensively applied to various manufacturing processes. The aim of this research is to apply a 3D printer part as wax pattern in the investment casting process. The difference between conventional pattern wax and 3D printer wax is compared by experiments. The direct casting method is developed for ceramic-shell investment casting.

A study is carried out on investigation on pattern costs, identification of geometric parameters for the cost, and development of cost estimation models for casting patterns. Pattern costs for machine tool structures are collected and analyzed to identify the important geometric parameters that affect the costs. The parameters are used for the development of the costing models. It is found that the geometric parameters can be easily obtained from a CAD system and then the costing models estimate a pattern cost in a minimum time. The models are verified with the structures whose pattern cost was used for this study. It is expected that this costing models can evaluate the cost of casting structures of machine tools in search of a near-optimal design based on manufacturing cost and, for example, weight at the design stage.

An investigation was carried out to examine the pores of casting bodies depending on the position of wax pattern in the ring for precious alloy by optical micrographs. From the result of optical micrographs, many pores were found in the Group C that wax pattern is placed in the center of the ring. However, any pores were scarcely found in the Group A, B, D and E that wax patterns are placed out of the center of thermal zone. In comparison with the pores of casting bodies of Group C, many pores were found at the cusp area rather than at the proximal surface. From these examination, it was concluded that wax pattern should be placed out of the center of thermal zone to prevent casting boies from occurring pores.

The lead time for new products is very limited in the current manufacturing processes, therefore the Rapid Prototyping process has been introduced and generally used in the industry. Fused Deposition Manufacturing (FDM) is one of the most common methods in this field. In the FDM process, the patterns are made of Wax of ABS and ABS shows better quality of the patterns. To date, the FDM/ABS patterns are used in investment casting for making silicon moulds to produce was patterns because it is very difficult to dewax FDM/ABS directly. The aim of this paper was to propose a feasibility of using FDM/ABS parts as wax-pattern substitutes in the investment casting process. The effects of casting conditions, such as pre-heat temperature and casting temperature, are provided. Comparisons with the conventional investment casting processes using the wax-patterns under the same prototype are made. Lead-time and saving cost are discussed in using FDM/ABS parts as was-pattern substitutes compared with the products from other rapid prototype systems.

Vibration table is required to obtain high packing density in expendable pattern casting process. Packing density. which is an important manufacture factor, depends on the vibration pattern induced by vibration table. In general, circular vibration pattern is recognized as the best pattern. The existing vibration table is investigated to identify current vibration pattern and consider a countermeasure. Modal test is utilized to identify the dynamic characteristics of vibration table, and finite element method is used to propose the improved design. In simulation using finite element method, the position of stiffeners is obtained to satisfy the required dynamic characteristics.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the titanium castability with a spin type casting machine(TiCast, Super R, Selec, Osaka. Japan). We tested phosphate bonded investment "Rematitan$^{(R)}$Plus(Dentaurum, Inc., Pforzheim, Germany)"of mesh grid pattern and plate pattern. Four different mold temperatures(room temperature, 200$^{\circ}C$, 400$^{\circ}C$ and 600$^{\circ}C$) were prepared for the present study. In mesh grid pattern with spruing of $\varphi$0.88㎜ dimeter, when the mold temperature increased, high percentage of castability was gained. Mold temperature showed a highly significant(p<0.05) correlation on the castability, In plate pattern, the higher the mold temperature during casting, the greater the adhesive phenomenon between Ti surface and the investment.

정밀하고 복잡한 형상의 금속 부품을 제작하는데 사용되는 정밀주조법은 왁스형을 만드는 과정을 수작업으로 진행하므로 많은 시간과 비용이 소요되었다. 왁스형 제작공정을 개선하기 위해 쾌속조형기를 이용하는 방법을 제안하였다. SLS 형 쾌속조형기를 이용하여 캐스트폼형을 제작하고 여기에 용융된 왁스를 함침시켜 왁스형을 완성한다. 이 방법을 이용하여 스텐레스 스틸 소재의 금속 주분을 제작하였는데, 시간과 비용이 크게 절감되었으며 정밀도도 향상되었다.
