3D printing technology is a processing technology in which 3D structures are formed by fabricating multiple 2D layers of materials based on 3D designed digital data and stacking them layer by layer. Although layers are stacked using inkjet printing to release various materials, it is still rare for research to successfully form a product as an additive manufacture of multi-materials. In this study, dispersion conditions are optimized by adding a dispersant to an acrylic monomer suitable for inkjet printing using Co₃O₄ and Al₂O₃. 3D structures having continuous composition composed of a different ceramic material are manufactured by printing using two UV curable ceramic inks whose optimization is advanced. After the heat treatment, the produced structure is checked for the formation and color of the desired crystals by comparing the crystalline analysis according to the characteristics of each part of the structure with ceramic pigments made by solid phase synthesis method.

The recent advances and popularity of 3D printing technology have centered around building polymerbased 'plastic' materials, due to their low cost, simple and efficient processing, and mechanical toughness. For this reason, printable polymers are actively recruited to create 'ceramic resins' that allow more facile fabrication of ceramic materials that are difficult to print directly. Herein, a brief history and the current state of ceramic 3D printing technology aided by polymer is summarized. In addition, a new ceramic 3D printing technology using polymer-derived ceramics (PDC) is also introduced.

In the development of advanced ceramic tools, material improvements and design freedom are critical in improving tool performance. However, in the die press molding method, many factors limit tool design and make it difficult to develop innovative advanced tools. Ceramic 3D printing facilitates the production of prototype samples for advanced tool development and the creation of complex tooling products. Furthermore, it is possible to respond to mass production requirements by reflecting the needs of the tool industry, which can be characterized by small quantities of various products. However, many problems remain in ensuring the reliability of ceramic tools for industrial use. In this study, alumina inserts, a representative ceramic tool, was manufactured using the digital light process (DLP), a 3D printing method. Alumina inserts prepared by 3D printing are pressurelessly sintered under the same conditions as coupon-type specimens prepared by press molding. After sintering, a hot isostatic pressing (HIP) treatment is performed to investigate the effects of relative density and microstructure changes on hardness and fracture toughness. Alumina inserts prepared by 3D printing show lower relative densities than coupon specimens prepared by powder molding but indicate similar hardness and higher fracture toughness values.

최근 3D 프린팅 기술은 산업적인 응용분야의 확대를 위해 다양한 복합소재의 적용이 연구되고 있다. 기존 3D 프린팅 기술은 대부분 플라스틱 소재 위주로 개발되어 왔으며, 세라믹 소재의 경우 물리적, 화학적으로 우수한 물성을 가지고 있음에도 불구하고 상대적으로 3D 프린팅 적용을 위한 연구개발이 초기 단계에 머무르고 있다. 본 연구에서는 DLP(digital light processing) 3D프린팅 공정에 적용을 위해 다양한 입도의 실리카를 기반으로 광경화성 복합소재를 합성하였다. 다양한 적층 방식의 3D 프린팅 기술 중에서 DLP 3D 프린팅 방식은 광경화성 수지에 빛을 조사하여 3차원 기물을 제조하는 기술로 정밀도가 우수하고 다양한 소재 적용성이 높다. 합성된 실리카 복합소재의 충진율에 따른 유변학적 거동분석을 통하여 DLP 3D 프린팅 적용가능성을 확인하였고, 원활하게 적층조형이 잘 이루어지는 것을 확인하였다. 3D 프린팅된 시편의 인쇄 정확도는 디자인과 약 3 % 미만의 차이를 나타내었고, 실리카 입자의 충진율이 80 wt%일 때 34.3 MPa의 강도를 나타내었다.

Ink-jet printing technology, which utilizes a digitalized design to print fine ink directly on a substrate, has been of interest in various industries due to its high efficiency and adaptability to various materials. Recently, active attempts have been made to apply ceramic materials having excellent heat resistance, light resistance, and chemical resistance to the ink-jet printing process. In this study, ceramic ink was synthesized by combining ceramic pigments with UV curable polymer. 3D printability at various contact angles between ceramic ink and substrate was analyzed in detail. Rheological properties of the synthesized ceramic ink were optimized to meet the requirements of the ink-jet printing process, and the contact angle of UV curable ceramic ink was controlled through surface treatment of the substrate. The potential for additive manufacturing of ceramic material using ink-jet printing was investigated by analyzing the effect of contact angle control on ceramic ink droplets and their 3D printability.

Three-dimensional(3D) printing is a process for producing complex-shaped 3D objects by repeatedly stacking thin layers according to digital information designed in 3D structures. 3D printing can be classified based on the method and material of additive manufacturing process. Among the various 3D printing methods, digital light processing is an additive manufacturing technique which can fabricate complex 3D structures with high accuracy. Recently, there have been many efforts to use ceramic material for an additive manufacturing process. Generally, ceramic material shows low processability due to its high hardness and strength. The introduction of additive manufacturing techniques into the fabrication of ceramics will improve the low processability and enable the fabrication of complex shapes and parts. In this study, we synthesize silica composite material that can be applied to digital light processing. The rheological and photopolymeric properties of the synthesized silica composite are investigated in detail. 3D objects are also successfully produced using the silica composite and digital light processing.

최근 3D 프린팅 산업은 다양한 형상의 세라믹 부품을 간소화된 공정으로 제조 가능하여 많은 기대를 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 세라믹 3D 프린팅을 통하여 알루미나(Alumina) 제품을 구현하기 위하여 3D 프린팅용 점탄성 페이스트(Paste)를 제조하였다. 점탄성 특성은 세라믹 3D 프린팅 공정에서 아주 중요한 역할을 한다. 노즐을 통한 세라믹 페이스트의 압출 시에는 흐름 특성을 가져야 하며, 인쇄되어 정확한 자리에 인쇄되어 안착한 후에는 고체처럼 작동하여 형상을 유지하여야 한다. 이러한 점탄성 특성을 부여하기 위하여 페이스트를 제조할 때 엘라스토머(Elastomer) 등의 첨가물을 첨가하였고, 이렇게 제조된 페이스트의 유변학적 특성을 분석한 결과 점탄성 특성을 보이는 것을 확인하였다. 하지만, 엘라스토머의 함량에 따라 점탄성 특성이 다름을 확인하여, 점탄성 특성의 각 지표가 실질적인 인쇄성에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 확인하기 위하여 다양한 형태로 인쇄성 평가를 진행하였다. 인쇄성 평가 결과 높은 항복 응력을 가지는 페이스트가 인쇄성이 우수함을 확인하였다. 이렇게 개발된 알루미나 인쇄물의 심미성을 증가시키기 위하여 고온에서 소결시에도 안정적으로 발색효과가 있는 세라믹 안료를 제조된 페이스트에 혼합하여 1300 ℃에서 고온 소결을 진행하고, 소결 후 발색 효과를 확인하였다.

In this study, a process is developed for 3D printing with alumina ($Al_2O_3$). First, a photocurable slurry made from nanoparticle $Al_2O_3$ powder is mixed with hexanediol diacrylate binder and phenylbis(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl) phosphine oxide photoinitiator. The optimum solid content of $Al_2O_3$ is determined by measuring the rheological properties of the slurry. Then, green bodies of $Al_2O_3$ with different photoinitiator contents and UV exposure times are fabricated with a digital light processing (DLP) 3D printer. The dimensional accuracy of the printed $Al_2O_3$ green bodies and the number of defects are evaluated by carefully measuring the samples and imaging them with a scanning electron microscope. The optimum photoinitiator content and exposure time are 0.5 wt% and 0.8 s, respectively. These results show that $Al_2O_3$ products of various sizes and shapes can be fabricated by DLP 3D printing.
