본 연구에서는 최근 창조경제의 일환으로서 3차원 프린팅 기술의 개발이 눈에 띄게 발전함에 따라 치의학계 보철물 제작 기술에도 영향을 주고 있는 이 기술에 의해 제작된 3본 고정성 보철물의 임상적 허용 가능성을 변연 간격을 기준으로 가늠하여보고자 하였다. 3차원 프린팅 기술에 의해 제작된 보철물 평가와 관련한 연구가 부족함에 따라 본 연구 결과를 통해 해당 종사자들(치과의사, 치과위생과, 치과기공사)에게 참고자료를 제시하고자 하였다. 연구 결과들을 종합하여 보면 3차원 프린팅 기술에 의해 제작된 3본 고정성 보철물은 같은 증례를 대상으로 전통적인 제작방식에 의해 제작된 것보다 변연 간격이 우수하지 못하였다. 비록 몇몇 임상가들이 제시한 임상적 허용 수치 내에는 존재하였으나 기존의 제작 기술을 대신하기 위해서는 앞으로 많은 연구들을 통하여 기술의 발전이 이루어져야 할 것으로 생각된다.

Additive manufacturing technology is taking great attentions in these days because the term 3D-printing became a hot issue as the next generation manufacturing paradigm. Especially, laser additive manufacturing is at the center of interest thanks to the accuracy compared to other heat sources. In this report, recent papers about laser additive manufacturing are analyzed and reviewed. General technology is specified into three different categories and they are laser sintering, laser melting and laser metal deposition. Similarities and differences are clearly described by detailed technologies and used materials type. Representative application examples are selected then future of this technology is expected through those applications. Additionally, market of laser additive manufacturing systems itself and application fields are also predicted based on present 3D-printing market and technical progressions.

Metal additive manufacturing (AM) has transformed conventional manufacturing processes by offering unprecedented opportunities for design innovation, reduced lead times, and cost-effective production. Aluminum alloy, a material used in metal 3D printing, is a representative lightweight structural material known for its high specific strength and corrosion resistance. Consequently, there is an increasing demand for 3D printed aluminum alloy components across industries, including aerospace, transportation, and consumer goods. To meet this demand, research on alloys and process conditions that satisfy the specific requirement of each industry is necessary. However, 3D printing processes exhibit different behaviors of alloy elements owing to rapid thermal dynamics, making it challenging to predict the microstructure and properties. In this study, we gathered published data on the relationship between alloy composition, processing conditions, and properties. Furthermore, we conducted a sensitivity analysis on the effects of the process variables on the density and hardness of aluminum alloys used in additive manufacturing.

Purpose: To evaluate the marginal and internal fit of metal coping fabricated by a metal three-dimensional (3D) printer that uses selective laser melting (SLM). Methods: An extraoral scanner was used to scan a die of the prepared maxillary right first molar, and the coping was designed using computer-aided design software and saved as an stereo lithography (STL) file. Ten specimens were printed with an SLM-type metal 3D printer (SLM group), and 10 more specimens were fabricated by casting the castable patterns output generated by a digital light processing-type resin 3D printer (casting the 3D printed resin patterns [CRP] group). The fit was measured using the silicon replica technique, and 8 points (A to H) were set per specimen to measure the marginal (points A, H) and internal (points B~G) gaps. The differences among the groups were compared using the Mann-Whitney U-test (α=0.05). Results: The mean of marginal fit in the SLM group was 69.67±18.04 ㎛, while in the CRP group was 117.10±41.95 ㎛. The internal fit of the SLM group was 95.18±41.20 ㎛, and that of the CRP group was 86.35±32 ㎛. As a result of statistical analysis, there was a significant difference in marginal fit between the SLM and CRP groups (p<0.05); however, there was no significant difference in internal fit between the SLM group and the CRP group (p>0.05). Conclusion: The marginal and internal fit of SLM is within the clinically acceptable range, and it seems to be applicable in terms of fit.

This paper investigates the compressive deformation behavior of direct metal tooling (DMT), processing titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) parts under high strain loading conditions. Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) experiments were performed to determine the flow stress and the coefficients of the Johnson-Cook model. This model is described as a function of strain, strain rate, and temperature. SHPB experiments were performed to characterize the deformation behavior of specimens made with 3D printers, using Ti-6Al-4V material under high temperature and dynamic loading.

The materials used for 3D printing are mainly plastic and metal. These materials are usually used in the powdered form. In order to improve the surface roughness of a manufactured product, these powders should consist of small uniform spherical particles. However, the powdered forms are sold at a considerably higher price than bulk or wired materials. When a wire-type material is used instead of a powder, we can supply a relatively large amount of the material at one time as well as reduce the cost. Moreover, the use of this form of the material will increase the process efficiency. This paper deals with the technology required to feed a wire material in front of the tool movement and discusses the examples used for the verification.

Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies have attracted wide attention as key technologies for the next industrial revolution. Among AM technologies using various materials, powder bed fusion (PBF) processes and direct energy deposition (DED) are representative of the metal 3-D printing process. Both of these processes have a common feature that the laser is used as a heat source to fabricate the 3-D shape through melting of the metal powder and solidification. However, the material properties of the deposited metals differ when produced by different process conditions and methods. 17-4 precipitation-hardening stainless steel (17-4PH SS) is widely used in the field of aircraft, chemical, and nuclear industries because of its good mechanical properties and excellent corrosion resistance. In this study, we investigated the differences in microstructure and mechanical properties of deposited 17-4PH SS by PBF and DED processes, including the heat treatment effect.

미세유체 종이-기반 분석 장치는 최근 현장 진단 및 환경 물질 감지를 포함한 다양한 적용가능성으로 주목을 받고 있다. 본 연구는 적은 비용과 간단한 검출 방법으로 중금속을 빠르게 검출할 수 있는 3D-μPAD를 제작하기 위해 PDMS 양면 인쇄 방법을 제안하였다. 3D-μPAD 디자인은 레이저 커팅으로 아크릴 스탬프에 적용할 수 있으며, 제작된 스탬프에 PDMS 고분자를 스핀 코팅 후 양면접촉인쇄 방식 도입을 통해 3차원 형태의 소수성 장벽 형성에 필요한 조건을 확인하였다. 구체적으로 소수성 장벽 형성 조건인 고분자 농도, 스핀 코팅 속도 및 접촉 시간에 따라 PDMS 소수성 장벽 면적과 친수성 채널의 면적 변화를 분석함으로써 3D-μPAD 제작 공정 조건 최적화를 수행하였다. 최적화된 μPAD로 니켈, 구리, 수은 이온, pH를 다양한 농도에서 검출하였고 이를 ImageJ 프로그램으로 분석하여 grayscale 값으로 정량화 하였다. 이를 통해 3D-μPAD를 제작함으로써 특별한 분석 기기 없이 다양한 중금속 비색 검출을 수행함으로써 조기진단 바이오 센서로의 응용 가능성을 증명하였다. 이 3D-μPAD는 휴대가 간편한 다중 금속이온 검출 바이오센서로서, 신속한 현장 모니터링이 가능하므로 개발도상국 같은 자원이 제한된 지역에서 유용하게 사용 가능하다.
