There are still many limitations on fabricating dentures using digital method while computerized production of fixed prostheses utilizing intraoral scanner and CAD/CAM technology has propagated rapidly. Recently the digital solution of fabricating removable partial denture by applying haptic input device, electronic surveying, and rapid prototyping was introduced. In this case presentation, five patients were treated with surveyed crown and removable partial dentures by this digital solution. Fit of dentures was excellent except for one case which showed morphological difference between the actual teeth and that of master cast by the erroneous impression process. There also was not any problem of stability and retention after adaptation in the clinical setting.

To extend the application of digital technology to the replication of artifacts, meticulous details of the process and the diversity of three-dimensional (3D) printing output materials need to be supplemented. Thus, in this study, a bronze mirror with Hwangbichangcheon inscription was digitalized by 3D scanning, converted into a voxel model, and virtual conservation treatment was performed using a haptic device. Furthermore, the digital mold of the bronze mirror completed by Boolean modeling was printed using a 3D sand-printer. Such contactless replication based on digital technology reflects the stability, precision, expressivity, collectivity, durability, and economic feasibility of artifacts. Its application can be further extended to cultural products as well as such areas as education, exhibition, and research. It is expected to be in high demand for metal artifacts that require casting. If empirical studies through experimental research on casting are supplemented in the future, it could extend the application of digital technology-based contactless replication methods.

A virtual rigid is modeled as the parallel structure of a virtual spring and a virtual damper. The reflective force from the virtual model is designed to be as large as possible to improve the realism of the virtual environment while maintaining the stable interaction. So, it is important to analyze the stability boundary of the virtual spring and damper. In the previous researches, the stability boundary is analyzed based on the zero-order-hold (ZOH) method, but it is analyzed based on the first-order-hold (FOH) method and the virtual damper in the paper. The boundary value of the stable virtual damper is inverse proportional to the sampling time and the maximum value of stable virtual stiffness is inverse proportional to the square of the sampling time. And the maximum value in the FOH method is increased to 110% of the value in the ZOH method. If the virtual damper is smaller than about 50% of the boundary value of the virtual damper in the FOH method, the stable virtual stiffness in the FOH method is several times larger than that in the ZOH method.
