Rapid Prototyping (RP) technologies provide the ability to fabricate initial prototypes from various model materials. Stratasys' Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is a typical RP process that can fabricate prototypes out of plastic materials, and the parts made from FDM were often used as load-carrying elements. Because FDM deposits materials in about $300\mutextrm{m}$ thin filament with designated orientation, parts made from FDM show anisotropic material properties. This paper proposes an analytic model to predict the tensile strength of FDM parts. Applying the Classical Lamination Theory, which was developed for laminated composite materials, a computer code was implemented. Tsai-Wu failure criterion was added to the code to predict the failure of the FDM parts. The tensile strengths predicted by the analytic model were compared with experimental data. The data and prediction agreed reasonably well to prove the validity of the model. In addition, a web-based advisory service was developed to provide to strength prediction and design rules for FDM parts.

본 연구에서는 소량생산 및 개인 맞춤형 제작으로 매우 유용한 3D 프린팅 기술을 이용하여 자가 맞춤형 부목을 제작하고자 하였다. 방법으로는 3D 프린터를 이용하여 용융적층조형방식(fused deposition modeling)으로 부목을 제작하였으며, 재료는 열가소성 플라스틱 계열인 ABS(acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) 수지를 이용하였다. 부목의 모델링은 실제 인체의 손 부위 3차원 전산화단층영상을 이용하였으며 통풍이 가능하도록 설계하였다. 그 결과 실제 인체 손 모양과 일치하는 자기 맞춤형 부목이 성공적으로 출력되었다. 또한 기존 부목보다도 우수한 방사선영상을 획득할 수 있었다. 결론적으로 본 연구에서 제시한 3D 프린팅 사례는 ABS 수지를 이용한 용융적층조형방식의 유사한 구조물을 출력할 때 기초자료로 사용할 것으로 판단된다.

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) parts are made by piling up thin layers that cause the stair stepping effect at the surface of FDM parts. This effect brings about poor surface roughness of the part and requires additional post machining such as manual finishing that is detrimental to the part geometry and time consuming. Determining optimal build orientation for FDM parts can be one solution to minimize the post machining. However, by using the CAD model, calculating the optimal build orientation is impractical due to heavy computing process. In order to calculate the optimal build orientation with high speed. the surface roughness model based on measured data and interpolation is newly developed in this research. Also. the genetic algorithm (GA) is applied for acquiring reliable solution. Finally, It is verified from the test that the presented approach is very efficient for reducing the additional post machining process fer FDM parts.

본 연구에서는 3차원(3-dimensional, 3D) 프린팅 기술로 출력된 팬톰에 대한 X선 투과성을 평가하고자 하였다. 3D 프린팅 방식은 용융적층조형(fused deposition modeling, FDM) 방식을 이용했으며 소재는 아크릴로나이트릴 뷰타다이엔 스타이렌(acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, ABS)을 사용하였다. 팬톰은 원통 모양으로 설계하였으며 전산화단층영상장비(computed tomography, CT)에서 획득한 단면영상으로 균일도를 측정하였다. X선 투과성 평가는 3D 출력된 팬톰 내부에 이온챔버를 삽입하여 실시하였다. 그 결과, 평균 균일도가 2.70 HU이었으며 기존 폴리메틸 메타크릴레이트(poly methyl methacrylate, PMMA) CT 팬톰과 3D 프린터로 출력된 팬톰에서 측정된 X선 투과성의 상관관계는 0.976로 높은 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 향후 3D 프린팅 기술을 이용한 방사선정도관리 팬톰 제작에 기초자료로 활용할 수 있으리라 기대한다.

3D 프린터 관련 특허가 만료되고 주요 기술이 공개되면서 3D 프린터 가격이 하락하면서 원하는 제품을 쉽게 찾을 수 있는 환경이 조성되고 있다. 특히 가장 저렴한 FDM(Fused Deposition Modeling) 3D 프린터가 다양한 분야에서 사용되고 있다. FDM 방식은 형상을 출력할 때 특정 조건이상에서는 지지대(Support)를 붙여야만 형상의 무너짐 없이 제작이 가능하다. 지지대를 달지 않고 형상을 출력할 때 특정 각도에서 발생하는 불규칙한 표면은 제품에 있어서는 불량이지만 예술과 공예적 측면에서는 또 다른 재미를 느낄 수 있는 요소로 활용될 수 있다고 사료된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 불규칙한 표면을 얻기 위해 출력에 영향을 줄 수 있는 요인들을 제어하고 출력 각도만 변위요소로 실험하였다. 실험 결과 수직에서 62°~70°의 각도로 프린팅 시 필라멘트가 흘러내리지 않고 불규칙한 표면을 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 인위적으로 불규칙한 표면을 공예적인 제품에 적용해 보았다.

Fused deposition modelling(FDM) is a rapid prototyping(RP) process that fabricates part layer by layer by deposition of molten thermoplastic material extrude from a nozzle. RP system has many benefit. One of the benefit would be the ability to experiment wiか physical objects of my complexity in a relatively short period of time. But it has a matter of surface roughness and geometric accuracy. We study on Influence of angle of tangent line and area error on sphere surface roughness at fused deposition.

The desktop-level 3D printing machines makes it easier for independent designers to produce collectible models. Desktop 3D printers that use FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) technology usually use a minimum nozzle diameter of 0.4mm. When using FDM printers to make Gunpla models, Thin slice structures are prone to slicing errors, which lead to deformation of printed objects and reduction in structural strength. This paper aims to analyze the printing model that produces errors, control a single variable among the three variables of slice layer height, slice wall thickness and filament type for comparative testing, and find a way to avoid gaps. To provide assistance for using FDM printers to build models containing thin-walled structures.

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.

Additive manufacturing (AM), so called 3D Printing is a new manufacturing process and is getting attraction from many industries. There are several methods of 3D printing. Among them fused deposition modeling (FDM) type is most widely used by reason of cheap maintenance, easy operation and variety of polymeric materials. Articles manufactured by 3D printing have weak deposition strength compared with conventionally manufactured products. Deposition strength of FDM type 3D printed article is highly dependent of deposition temperature. Subsequently the nozzle temperature in the FDM type 3D printing is very important and it is controlled by heat source in the 3D printer. Nozzle is connected with heat block and barrel, and heat block contains heat source. Nozzle becomes hot through heat conduction from heat source. Nozzle temperature has been predicted for various thermal boundary conditions by computer simulation and compared with experimental measurement. Nozzle temperature highly depends upon thermal conductivities of heat block and nozzle. Simulation results are good agreement with experiment.
