The purpose of this study is an attempt to improve the functionality of a conventional Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) process using the Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) to perform multimaterial production and post-processing. Hybrid-FDM means a fusion of an Additive Manufacturing process and grinding process using the ATC system. In order to enhance the potentiality of production capacity for multi-material fabrication and surface roughness improvement, two extrusion tools and one grinding tool system are suggested. A pneumatic chuck is attached on a moving platform in the XY axes plane and an extrusion head and grinding head are placed in a docking station, allowing for a quick changeover with each other. Therefore, the manufacturing lead time can be reduced efficiently for the fabrication of a product.

최근 3차원 프린팅 기술은 비약적으로 발전하여 쾌속조형기술의 대명사가 되고 있다. FDM 방식의 3D프린터는 쾌속조형에 사용되는 가장 일반적인 프린터이지만, 열에 취약하고, 출력물의 표면이 매끄럽지 못하는 등의 문제를 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 FDM방식의 3D프린터로 ABS재질의 시편을 제작하였고, 아세톤에 시편을 담그는 방식으로 후처리를 수행하였다. 공정시간을 변수로 후처리를 진행하였으며, 처음 5초의 후처리 시간동안에는 시편의 표면조도가 급격하게 개선되는 결과를 획득하였으며, 5초 이후에는 표면조도의 변화정도가 미미하였다. 또한, 이러한 후처리 공정은 적지만 시편의 인장강도와 파단변형률을 상승시키는 결과를 나타내었다.

The additive manufacturing technology, also called 3D printing, is growing fast. There are several methods for 3D printing. Fused deposition modeling (FDM) type 3D printing is the most popular method because it is simple and inexpensive. Moreover, it can be used for printing various thermoplastic materials. However, it contains the cooling of layered road and causes thermal shrinkage. Thermal shrinkage should be controlled to obtain high-quality products. In this study, temperature distribution and cooling behavior of a layered road with cooling are studied through computer simulation. The thermal shrinkage of the layered road was simulated using the calculated temperature distribution with time. Shape variation of the layered road was predicted as cooling proceeded. Stress between the bed and the layered road was also predicted.This stress was considered as the detaching stress of the layered road from the bed. The simulations were performed for various thermal conductivities and temperatures of the layered road, bed temperature, and chamber temperature of a 3D printer. The simulation results provide detailed information about the layered road for FDM type 3D printing under operational conditions.

With recent developments in digital dentistry, research on techniques and materials for three-dimensional (3D) printing is actively underway. We report the clinical applications and outcomes of 3D printing of temporary crowns fabricated with polylactic acid (PLA) using a fused deposition modeling (FDM) printer. Five participants were recruited from among patients scheduled to be treated with a single full-coverage crown at a dental clinic in a university medical center from June to August 2022. We used 3D-printed crowns fabricated with PLA using an FDM printer as temporary crowns and were assessed for discomfort, fracture, and dislodging. The 3D-printed temporary crowns were maintained without fracture, dislodging, or discomfort until the permanent prosthesis was ready. The average time required for printing the temporary crowns was approximately 7 minutes. The 3D printing of temporary crowns with PLA using an FDM printer is a convenient process for dentists. However, these crowns have some limitations, such as rough surface texture and translucency; therefore, the 3D printing process should be improved to produce better prostheses.

Fused deposition Modeling (FDM) is one of the most widely used for the prototype of parts at ease. The FDM 3D printing method is a lamination manufacturing method that the resin is melted at a high temperature and piled up one by one. Another term is also referred to as FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication). 3D printing technology is mainly used only in the area of prototype production, not in production of commercial products. Therefore, if FDM 3D printer is applied to the product process of commercial products when considered, the strength and dimensional accuracy of the manufactured product is expected to be important. In this study, the mechanical properties of parts made by 3D printing with FDM method were investigated. The aim of this work is to examine how the mechanical properties of the FDM parts, by changing of processing FDM printing direction and the height of stacking layer is affected. The effect of the lamination direction and the height of the stacking layer, which are set as variables in the lamination process, by using the tensile specimen and impact specimen after the FDM manufacturing process were investigated and analyzed. The PLA (Poly Lactic Acid) was used as the filament materials for the 3D printing.

최근의 IoT 센서의 소형화와 센서의 소형화로 인하여 다른 센서 및 구조물들과의 간섭 및 견고성을 고려하여 더욱 복잡해 지고 있다. 최근 3D 프린팅 기술은 센서 직접 제작이나, 센서 소자를 포함하는 기구를 만드는 분야에 다양하게 적용이 되고 있다. 그 중에서, fused deposition modeling(FDM) 기술은 장비 및 소재의 가격이 상당히 저렴하며, IoT 기기의 제작이 활용이 가능한 가장 유력한 기술중에 하나이다. 그런 FDM 프린팅 기술은 플라스틱 소재 기반의 필라멘트를 녹여서 적층하여 3D 형상을 만들어 내는 기술이며, 최근에 특허 종료와 아울러 오픈 소스 기반의 저가형 프린터가 개발됨으로 일반인들에게도 널리 사용되고 있다. 이런 FDM 기술을 이용하여 출력된 출력물에 있어서 기계적 물성치는 소재의 종류와 다양한 공정 변수들에 의해서 영향을 받는다. 그 중에서도 내부 채움(infill)은 기계적 물성치에도 큰 영향을 주면, 출력 시간에도 영향을 준다. 따라서 본 논문에서 내부 채움과 기계적 물성치 및 출력 시간 사이의 관계를 규명하여, 기계 기구물을 제작할 때 출력 시간과 기계적 물성치를 고려한 최적의 내부 채움 조건 선정 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 제시된 방법을 증명하고자, 다른 공정은 모두 고정하고, 내부 채움 조건만을 변경한 인장 시편을 제작하고, 제작된 시편을 인장 실험을 통하여 내부 채움에 따른 출력물의 기계적 물성치를 비교 분석하였다.

Additive manufacturing (AM) or three-dimensional (3D) printing of metals has been drawing significant attention due to its reliability, usefulness, and low cost with rapid prototyping. Among the various AM technologies, fused deposition modeling (FDM) or fused filament fabrication is receiving much interest because of its simple manufacturing processing, low material waste, and cost-effective equipment. FDM technology uses metal-filled polymer filaments for 3D printing, followed by debinding and sintering to fabricate complex metal parts. An efficient binder is essential for producing polymer filaments and the thermal post-processing of printed objects. This study involved an in-depth investigation of and a fabrication route for a novel multi-component binder system with steel alloy powder (45 vol.%) ranging from filament fabrication and 3D printing to debinding and sintering. The binder system consisted of polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) as a binder and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and polylactic acid (PLA) as a carrier. The PVP binder held the metal components tightly by maintaining their stoichiometry, and the TPU and PLA in the ratio of 9:1 provided flexibility, stiffness, and strength to the filament for 3D printing. The efficacy of the binder system was examined by fabricating 3D-printed cubic structures. The results revealed that the thermal debinding and sintering processes effectively removed the binder/carrier from the cubic structures, resulting in isotropic shrinkage of approximately 15.8% in all directions. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) patterns displayed the microstructure behavior, phase transition, and elemental composition of the 3D cubic structure.

The principle of the FDM(fused deposition modeling) process is based on the layer by layer manufacturing technology, like other RP(rapid prototyping) process. In the FDM process, each layer may have different shape. Therefore, the built model may have stairs shape on its surface. This stairs shape is one of the serious problems in the FDM process. Thus in this study, cube models and spherical models were fabricated by FDM process to investigate the influence of injection amount on surface roughness. Models with various road width were also built to investigate the influence of road width on surface roughness. Surface roughness of the models was measured and analyzed. The result obtained in this study are expected to help selecting the part build orientation for optimum surface roughness.
