In all Rapid Prototyping(RP) processes, computer-aided design(CAD) solid model is sliced into thin layers of uniform, but not necessarily constant, thickness in the building direction. Each cross-sectional layer is successively deposited and, at the same time, bonded onto the previous layer, the stacked layers form a physical part of the model. The objective of this study is to develop a method for obtaining necessary coordinates$(x,\;y,\;\theta_x,\;\theta_y)$ to position linear hotwire of the cutting system in three-dimensional space for the Variable Lamination Manufacturing process (VLM-S), which utilizes expandable polystyrene foam sheet as part material. In order to examine the applicability of the developed method to VLM-S, various three-dimensional shapes, such as a spanner, a patterned columm, and a pyramid were made using data obtained from the method.

In this study, a multi-step optimization technique combined with a simple genetic algorithm is introduced in order to minimize the static compliance, the dynamic compliance, and the weight of a high speed machining center simultaneously. Dimensional thicknesses of the eight structural members on the static force loop are adopted as design variables. The first optimization step is a static design optimization, in which the static compliance and the weight are minimized under some dimensional and safety constraints. The second step is a dynamic design optimization, where the dynamic compliance and the weight are minimized under the same constraints. After optimization, the weight of the moving body only was reduced to 57.75% and the weight of the whole machining center was reduced to 46.2% of the initial design respectively. Both static and dynamic compliances of the optimum design are also in the feasible range even though they were slightly increased than before.

Noncontact measuring methodology of 3-dimensional profile using CCD camera are very attractive because of it's high measuring speed and its's high sensitivity. Especially, when projecting a grid pattern over the object the captured image have 3 dimensional information of the object. Projection moire extract 3-D information with another grid pattern in front of CCD camera. However phase measuring profilometry(PMP) obtain similar results without additional grid pattern. In this paper, new method for grid pattern generation system by polygonal mirror and Laser Diode. This system is applied the projection moire and the PMP.

The shadow moire is one of the optical techniques which is able to give contour lines of an object with respect to a master grating plane. The moire patterns are issued from the superposition of a master grating and its shadow projected on the surface of an object. In case of the classical shadow moire method, the sensitivity was a few tenths millimeters. generally, it is difficult to use a phase shift method in shadow moire because it is impossible to obtain uniform phase shifts on the whole field. But in this study we use the fact that if the depth of object is much less than the distance between the observer and the master grating, and the object is displaced perpendicularly to the grating plane, phase shifts are almost uniform. Finally we obtained a better resolution by using a phase shift procedure and applied the phase shifting shadow moire to three dimensional shape measurement.

Purpose: This paper reviews popular measurement system indices and proposes a procedure for assessing a measurement system using two parameters with intraclass correlation and a factor for process capability. Methods: Gage Repeatability and Reproducibility(GR&R), precision-to-tolerance ratio(PTR), number of distinct categories, producer's and consumer's risks are employed to assess the measurement capabilities and discuss the relationships between measurement system metrics. Results: Two-dimensional plot by two parameters is presented to assess adequacy of the measurement system and process capability. A numerical example and previously studied case study are provided for illustration. Conclusion: The procedure proposed in this paper using two-dimension parameters provides a valuable procedure and helpful guidelines to quality and production managers in assessing the capabilities of a measurement system and choosing the needed actions to be the most benefit.

In this study, the effect of tool rake angles and the change of cutting conditions on specific cutting pressure in face milling is investigated. The cutting force in face milling is predicted from the double cutting edge model in 3-dimensional cutting. Conventional specific cutting pressure model is modified by considering the variation of tool rake angles. Effectiveness of the modified cutting force model is verified by the experiments using special face milling cutters with different cutter pockets and various rake angles. From the comparison of the pressented model and the specific cutting pressure, it is shown that the axial force can be predicted by the tangential and redial forces without the knowledge of friction angle and shear angle. Also, the relation between specific cutting pressure and cutting cindition including feedrate, cutting velocity and depth of cut is studied.

Nowadays, the STL format, industrial standard data, which approximates three dimensional CAD model to triangular facets, is used for RP(Rapid Prototyping) system. Because most RP machine is accpted to only two dimensional line segments, but some STL translators are sometimes poorly implemented. The error verifying process is as follows. 1) Remove facets with two or more vertices equal to each other. 2) Fix overlapping error such as more than three facets adjacent to an edge. 3) Fill holes in the mesh by using Delaunay triangulation method. 4) Repair wrong direction and value of normal vectors. This paper is concerned with searching the mentioned errors in advance and modifying them.

Dimensional accuracy and surface quality are very important in rapid prototyping especially when the models are used for the production of tools. This paper presents the development of benchmarking part to investigate dimensional accuracy and surface finish. A new test part is designed to perform benchmarking of major rapid prototyping processes such as selective laser sintering, laminated object manufacturing, stereolithography apparatus, and fused deposition modeling. The test part design includes basic manufacturing features such as holes, walls, squares, cylinder and etc. In addition, the small features are included in order to evaluate the fine details that can be manufactured by a specific RP process. The CMM program that automatically measures different features in the test part is also developed. The evaluation of accuracy as well as surface roughness are discussed for major rapid prototyping processes.

To reduce the leadtime for a new model according to the strict market requirements, automobile manufacturer begins to utilize 3-dimensional CAD based techniques such as DMU(Digital Mock-Up). RP(Rapid Prototyping), VE(Virtual Engineering). But, not so many satisfactory utilities have been introduced to deal with the emotional properties such as embossment on the surface of interior parts and touch from material characteristics in virtual environment. It is required to manufacture prototype parts to verify actual feeling of the passengers in real automobile. This paper suggests a methodology to enhance emotional property via embedding embossment on the surface of prototype car interior trim without deterioration of dimensional accuracy using RIM(Reaction Injection Molding) and vacuum forming method.

Enhancement of the accuracy of products and productivity are essential to survive in a global industrial competition. This trend requires tighter dimensional tolerance specifications. To actively cope with the rapid change of the workpiece material and cutter geometry, a general method that can predict and analyze the machined surface is needed. Surface generation model for the prediction of the topography of machined surfaces is developed based on cutting force model considering cutter deflection and runout. This paper presents the method that constructs the three-dimensional machined surface error following the movement of a cutter, irrespective of the variations of cutting conditions. In addition, the effects of the cutting forces and the kink shape on the machined surface are extensively investigated.
