Using the 3D printing method in the product manufacturing is a very innovative and useful technology. However, in the field of jewelry, it is a limited technology used only in a field of manufacturing process. To overcome this limitations in the jewelry production process, most popular and easy 3D printing method was selected, and the printing time and condition was limited. In this study, to find out the 3D printing method applicability to jewelry work manufacturing, the prototypes through casting and non-casting methods were completed and compared. As a result, the FDM printing method has a very positive advantage in terms of cost and time, but there is a disadvantage that the layered structure is not erased on the surface and the completeness of the surface forming is poor due to the residue of the filament generated during the printing process. The DLP printing method has the advantage that the surface treatment is even and completion is high, while the cost and time are inefficient. However, both printing methods were found to be suitable for the use of jewelry manufacturing, and if the efficient printing method was selected for the design of the jewelry in the future, better work research could be conducted.

As 3D printer-related patents expire and major technologies are disclosed, the price of 3D printers is dropping, creating an environment where you can easily find the product you want. In particular, the cheapest FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) 3D printer is being used in various fields. The FDM method can be manufactured without collapsing of the shape only by attaching a support under certain conditions when outputting the shape. When printing a shape without a support, the irregular surface that occurs at a certain angle is a defect in the product, but it is considered that it can be used as another fun factor in terms of arts and crafts. In this paper, to obtain such an irregular surface, factors that can affect the output were controlled and only the output angle was tested as a displacement factor. As a result of the experiment, it was possible to obtain an irregular surface without the filament flowing down when printing at an angle of 62° to 70° from the vertical. Also, artificially irregular surfaces were applied to craft products.

In this paper, the effects of different 3D printing conditions including oil lubrication and annealing are observed for their effects on tensile testing. In 3D printing, a press-out extrude filament is rapidly heated and cooled to create internal stress in the printed part. The 3D printing internal stress can be removed using oil-coated filament and annealing. During the oven cooling at an annealing temperature of $106^{\circ}C$, the stress of the specimens with laminated angle $0^{\circ}$ tends to increase by 12.6%, and that of the oil-coated filament printing specimens is increased by 17%. At the annealing temperature of $106^{\circ}C$, the stress of the oil-coated filament printing specimens tends to increase by 35%. In this study, we have found that the oil lubrication and annealing remove the internal stresses and increase the strength of the printed specimens. The oil lubrication and annealing reform the crystalline structures to even out the areas of high and low stress, which creates fewer fragile areas. These results are very useful for the manufacture of 3D printing products with a suitable mechanical strength for applications.

The purpose of this study, using 3D printer, was tried to fabricate the short arm cast of mesh types that can be hygienic and adequate ventilation with a good radiography. We used the multi channel computed tomography (MDCT) with three dimension printer device of the fused deposition modeling (FDM) techniques. The material is used a degradable plastic (poly lactic acid, PLA). Three-dimensional images of the short arm were obtained in the MDCT and then make the three-dimensional volume rendering. Three dimension volume rendering of the short arm is implemented as a tomography obtained in MDCT. Virtual mesh type cast model was output as three-dimensional images is designed based on the three-dimensional images of the short arm. As a results, the cast output by 3D printers were able to obtain excellent radiograph images than the conventional cast, and then it can decreased itching with unsanitary, and can break down easily to the cast. In conclusion, the proposed virtual mesh type cast output by 3D printers could be used as a basis for future three-dimensional printing cast productions and offered help to patients in the real life.

Reverse engineering involves duplicating a physical part by measuring and analyzing its physical dimensions, features, and material properties. By combining reverse engineering with three-dimensional (3D) printing, engineers can simply fabricate and evaluate functional prototypes. This design methodology has been attracting increasing interest with the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. In the present study, we apply reverse engineering and 3D printing technologies to evaluate a fabricated automotive inner ring prototype. Through 3D printing, inner rings of various densities were prepared. Their physical dimensions were measured with a 3D scanning system. Of our interest was the effect of inner ring density on the physical dimensions of the fabricated prototype. We compared the design dimensions and physical dimensions of the fabricated prototypes. The results revealed that even the 20% density of inner ring was effective for 3D printing in terms of satisfying the design requirements.

3D printer is based on an additive manufacturing technology, which helps in creating the three-dimensional object using a 3D drawing. It is used in various fields, because it prints out a variety of three-dimensional products in a short period of time. In this paper, we consider a technique using the FDM(Fused Deposition Modeling) method by dissolving the ABS(Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) resin among a diversity of printing technique and materials. This kind of the 3D printer prints out a product in high temperature and cools down it. In this process, a flection phenomenon is occurred according to the size of the printing product and the surrounding environment. Conventional methods for mitigating this phenomenon maintain the temperature at the optimum level, but they require using additional devices. In order to minimize the flection phenomenon in 3D printing products without additional devices, in this paper, we propose a noble technique, which creates holes on suitable positions when they are designed by 3D drawing tools. Also, we suggest mathematical model for the proposed method, and measure and analyse a printing output using a proposed technique.

With the recent development of 3D printers, there is a growing need to make them similar to real products. As a result, FDM full-color 3D printers have been developed and actively distributed, but GUI design has fallen short of that, causing confusion among users. Accordingly, this study conducted a literature survey, and through a case study, the current status of FDM full-color 3D printers was identified and the components of GUI design were analyzed based on prior research. The draft checklist was drawn up according to the components of the derived GUI design, and 24 items were deleted through the three Delphi surveys and the validity of the remaining 26 items was verified. As a result, the layout should consist of intuitive screen configuration and menus with high frequency of use, and the text should be intuitive and clearly communicated. In addition, the icon should be placed in a visible position and used in real life to image it. Finally, we could see that the color should be used to give feedback to the user using the highlight color and not overlap the output.

The latest innovation in the field of fashion comes in the form of 3D-printed clothing. This study explores the composition and characteristics of the shapes in the architecture of Zaha Hadid, a representative architectural designer who expresses space in three dimensions. Hadid applies his aesthetic to fashion design using these distinctive geometric shapes to create design motifs as well as develop new clothing material with 3D printing technology. The research was conducted as follows. First, the lines and arrangement of the geometric shapes in Zaha Hadid's architecture were analyzed so that his design principles could be used as a theoretical basis for this study. The study also reviewed geometric fashion designs using 3D printing technology over the last ten years. Second, we developed triangular modules with rods and tongs that could be fashioned into clothing using fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printers. Lastly, the 3D printing fashion design was developed to explore new silhouettes, textures, and a novel way of producing clothing. This study hopes to serve as a stepping-stone for further research on innovations that combine fashion with technology.

A microneedle is a tool that used for drug delivery and diagnosis. Unlike general injections, the microneedle is short in length, enabling effective drug delivery while minimizing pain and risk of infection. Conventionally, microneedles have been manufactured precisely at a nanometer level based on microelectro mechanical systems (MEMS) technology, requiring expensive equipments & maintenance and complicated processes. To address the issues, 3D printing research has been conducted to fabricate microneedles simply, economically, and rapidly. Since 3D printing facilitates to manufacture prototypes and apply feedbacks, it is advantageous for the development and commercialization of microneedle for pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Therefore, this review will introduce stereolithography (SLA), two-photon polymerization (2PP), dynamic light processing (DLP), continuous liquid interface production (CLIP), and fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing technologies and also highlight research trends for microneedle production using them. Furthermore, the limitation of the current microneedle technology and the direction to be solved in the future will be discussed.

Tool path generation is a part of process planning in 3D printing. This is done before actual printing by a computer rather than an AM machine. The mesh geometry of the 3D model is sliced layer-by-layer along the Z-axis and tool paths are generated from the sliced layers. Each 2-dimensional layer can have two types of printing paths: (i) shell and (ii) infill. Shell paths are made of offset loops. During shell generation, twists can be produced in offset loops which will cause twisted tool paths. As a twisted tool path cannot be printed, it is necessary to remove these twists during process planning. In this research, An algorithm is presented to remove twists from the offset loops. To do so the path segments are traversed to identify twisted points. Outer offset loops are represented in the counter-clockwise segment order and clockwise rotation for the inner offset loop to decide which twisted loop should be removed. After testing practical 3D models, the proposed algorithm is verified to use in tool path generation for 3D printing.
