Additive manufacturing (AM) is defined as the manufacture of three-dimensional tangible products by additively consolidating two-dimensional patterns layer by layer. In this review, we introduce four fundamental conceptual pillars that support AM technology: the bottom-up manufacturing factor, computer-aided manufacturing factor, distributed manufacturing factor, and eliminated manufacturing factor. All the conceptual factors work together; however, business strategy and technology optimization will vary according to the main factor that we emphasize. In parallel to the manufacturing paradigm shift toward mass personalization, manufacturing industrial ecology evolves to achieve competitiveness in economics of scope. AM technology is indeed a potent candidate manufacturing technology for satisfying volatile and customized markets. From the viewpoint of the innovation technology adoption cycle, various pros and cons of AM technology themselves prove that it is an innovative technology, in particular a disruptive innovation in manufacturing technology, as powder technology was when ingot metallurgy was dominant. Chasms related to the AM technology adoption cycle and efforts to cross the chasms are considered.

In this study, we investigated whether the interference occurring in forming roll surfaces could be eliminated by increasing the radius of the variable section forming rolls. The surfaces of the rolls capable of forming products with different flange heights and bend angles with the bend line tilted at an angle of 1° from the longitudinal axis were created using the general CAD software CATIA. Roll interferences were determined for the change in the forming roll radius. The minimum gaps between the upper and lower roll surfaces were measured for the change in the forming roll radius, and the roll interferences were calculated from the difference between the measured value and the thickness of the product. It was observed that the thickness of the product had a slight effect on the roll interference when the thickness was between 0.8 and 1.2 mm. It was also observed that the roll interference could be eliminated by increasing the roll radius.

Pyronaridine tetraphosphate (1) is a well-known antimalarial drug. However, it required a carefully optimized production process for the manufacture of pyronaridine tetraphosphate. Each step of its manufacturing process was reinvestigated. For the cyclization of 4-chloro-2-(6-methoxy-pyridin-3-yl-amino)-benzoic acid 6 to 7,10-dichloro-2-methoxybenzo[b]-1,5-naphthyridine 5, an improved process was developed to eliminated critical process impurity (BIA). By the redesign of the formation of triphosphate salt, the purity as API grade was increased. Thus, a robust manufacturing process with an acceptable process performance has been developed to produce high quality pyronaridine tetraphosphate.

Exceptional Elements(E.E) are generally eliminated by a machine duplication or a subcontract in cellular manufacturing system. One of the advantages in FMS consists of machines capable of multi-processing. This paper presents a method that eliminates E.Es by tool duplication. First, we develop the exceptional operation similarity(EOS) by machine cell-operation incidence matrix and part-operation incidence matrix. The EOS indicates a similarity of unperformable operations in each part when two exceptional parts are assigned to a machine cell. Secondly, a mathematical model to minimize tool duplication is developed by the EOS. Finally, a heuristic algorithm is developed to reflect dynamic situation in process of elimination of exceptional elements by the EOS and the mathematical model. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the algorithm.

The performance of a multi-head, computerized combination scaling system to automatically identify a group of agricultural products having a total weight within the target range has been optimized to reduce the package cycle time of the merchandise. First, the structure of the scale was modified to enable faster measurement by enhancing the dynamic stability during the process. Second, the high frequency noise in the measured signal was eliminated by a high frequency filter to provide more accurate weight data. Finally, the algorithm to identify a group of products with a total weight within the target range was modified to enable a user to select an optimal number of scales. According to the experimental verifications, this modified system reduced the package cycle time significantly and also was accurate in measuring the total weight of the selected products.

This paper presents an overall image processing approach of defect inspection of patterned TFT-LCD panels for the real manufacturing process. A prototype of AOI(Automatic Optical Inspection) system which is composed of air floating stage and multi line scan cameras is developed. Adjacent pattern comparison algorithm is enhanced and used for pattern elimination to extract defects in the patterned image of TFT-LCD panels. New region merging algorithm which is based on border expansion is proposed to identify defects from the pattern eliminated defect image. Experimental results show that a developed AOI system has acceptable performance and the proposed algorithm reduces environmental effects and processing time effectively for applying to the real manufacturing process.

This paper presents the designing/manufacturing scheme of the diplexer for satellite transponder which is composed of 2-channel bandpass filters, coupled with E-plane T-junction, having symmetrical waveguide E-plane step discontinuity structures. The 2-channel bandpass filters of the diplexer are designed by the scheme of connecting ${\lambda}_{g}$/2 shunt stub to the waveguide E-plane, playing the role of heat sinks without attaching a special heat sinks and to give the profitable productivity and allow the low-cost manufacturing at mass production, tuning screws are eliminated which have been used to compensate the operating characteristics of manufactured filters. The 2 channel bandpass filters of manufactured 14/12 GHz diplexer for domestic Ku-band satellite transponder have the return loss of 25 dB, insertion loss of 0.3 dB in passband, and below-50 dB of stopband characteristics (T$_{x}$ : f$_{o}{\pm}$250 MHz, R$_{x}$ : f$_{o}{\pm}$220 MHz) at room temperature.

In a scanning electron microscopy, image distortion is a critical issue and it is needed to be eliminated by some kinds of schemes. In this work, scanning frequency and scanning wave form are adjusted to have an improved image. The relationship between scan coil and its driver is investigated and appropriate frequency and wave form are suggested. It is proved that the selected frequency and wave form showed an enhanced image with less distortion, which were done by experiments. In addition, a noise elimination is addressed, providing improved image with a GROUND signal integration with the amplifier and the scan driver.

This study has an innovative improvement of the ocher tiles production system that aims to resolve social issue of industrial waste and to meet the customer needs for environmental-friendly building materials. By changing a wet type cutting method to a dry type of ocher tiles production system, the three processes such as cleaning, dehydration, and drying can be removed in existing overall process of 17 steps. Accordingly, the application of the wet type cutting method, which is proposed in this study, makes an increase in ocher tiles production from 1,500 to 1,850 pieces per hour. In particular, industrial wastewater that was emerging as the biggest problem in environmental pollutants in the wet cutting method has been removed. In addition, the most serious problems of noise and dust from the operator side, while developing a device for the dry cutting method, are eliminated through the development of additional equipment.

Partial reinforcement of sheet metal parts with CFRP patch is a technology that can realize ultra-lightweight body parts while overcoming the high material cost of carbon fiber. Performing these patchworks with highly productive press equipment solves another issue of CFRP: high process costs. The A-pillar is the main body part and has an undercut shape for fastening with other parts such as roof panels and doors. Therefore, it is difficult to bond CFRP patches to the A-pillar with a general press forming tool. In this paper, a flexible system that applies uniform pressure to complex shapes using ceramic particles and silicone rubber is proposed. By benchmarking various A-pillars, a reference model with an undercut shape was designed, and the system was configured to realize a uniform pressure distribution in the model. The ceramic spherical particles failed to realize the uniform distribution of high pressure due to their high hardness and point contact characteristics, which caused damage to the CFRP patch. Compression equipment made of silicone rubber was able to achieve the required pressure level for curing the epoxy. Non-adhesion defects between the metal and the CFRP patch were confirmed in the area where the bending deformation occurred. This defect could be eliminated by optimizing the process conditions suitable for the newly developed flexible system.
