Rapid prototyping technologies have been widely used to reduce the development cost of new products. Manufacturing industries are nowadays characterized by the flexibility and complexity of products. This to due to the rapid development of manufacturing technology and diverse needs of customers. In this paper, the best homing out and casting condition for getting casting product of resin pattern(photopolymer) have been examined experimentally. In generally, the burning out and casting conditions have effect on the casting products. Using the direct casting. we directly Producted the Jewelry. And in this paper, we used only gypsum. Many study of casting for resin have been used to dental investment. A dental investment is good for resin casting. but dental investment is too hard and not useful on the jewelry casting. Therefore we need to find the way of resin casting by gypsum.

RP&M (Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing) is the most appropriate technology for the small-lot production system, because the production cycle is getting shorter owing to various needs of the consumer. In this paper, rapid tooling technology is applied to the casting process. The casting process has the ability to reflect complicated shapes in one process. But it has not been widely used to make a die and mold because of the poor surface quality caused by air bubbles on the surface of the casting product. In this study, the porous casting mold is fabricated from a mixture of plaster and water-soluble binder. The porous casting mold can improve the characteristics of casting products with the help of the vacuum sealed casting process. The vacuum sealed casting process is an advanced technology that removes the air bubbles between the porous casting mould and the liquid metal, thus making the surface of the casting product finer. The purpose of this paper is to develop a high quality shoe mold using porous casting mold and to apply the RP&M technology to the shoe industry.

This paper was studied on the horizontal continuous casting of Al-xSi(x=10~15%) aluminum alloy. The experiments of the horizontal continuous casting was carried out by the horizontal continuous casting machine for various casting conditions and investigated on fracture types and mechanisms. Surface defect types for the horizontal continuous casting is also investigated. And the study was carried out that the horizontal continuous casting conditions such as casting temperature, cooling rate, and drawing speed affect the hardness and primary silicon size of Al-xSi(x=10~15%) aluminum rod bar. Casting temperature within this experiment conditions don't affect on the hardness of rod bar but the higher casting temperature is the smaller primary silicon size. The higher cooling rate and drawing speed have the higher hardness and the smaller primary silicon size.

The simulated die casting process in which the traditional plaster casting process is combined with rapid prototyping technology is being used to produce Al, Mg and Zn die casting prototypes. Because of lower mechanical properties induced by the large grain structure and incomplete filling, conventional plaster casting is not suitable for the simulated die casting process. A plaster casting process with pressurized vibration was developed for the simulated die casting process[5]. In this paper, numerical simulation for the filling stage of the process has been performed to show the effect of the pressurized vibration for complete filling. Treatment of boundary condition based on the finite element method has been proposed for imparted pressurized vibration in the plaster casting process.

In industry, several casting process are widely used to manufacture complex and accurate blank part of hard materials such as aluminum, casting steels, bronze and magnesium alloys which are difficult to manufacture in a blank shape. Even if the casting process does not high accuracy superior surface characteristics other machining process, the casting process is widely used in manufacturing blank part. Furthermore, it is difficult to select appropriate casting process a part among several casting process. for effective selection different process, a careful decision given casting application is necessary. An appropriate casting for a given material and shape condition must be selected for novice engineers in industry. In this paper, an expert system based on an analytic network process(ANP) is suggested for best selection of casting considering a prior interdependency effect among various factors such as material, geometry, process capability, economy and equipment.

In the present paper, the data management of casting processes has been discussed. In order to construct a smart factory in the foundry industry, understanding of the whole casting processes has to be in the first place. Casting process data can be obtained at the kiosk operated by casting engineers and data acquired by sensors in the foundry facility. However, preprocessing of the casting process data must be carried out in order to analyze the casting process by the data. Techniques and some examples for data preprocessing in the foundry was introduced.

Functional metal prototypes are often required in numerous industrial applications. These components are typically needed in the early stage of a project to determine form, fit and function. Recent R/P(Rapid Prototyping) part are made of soft materials such as plastics, wax, paper, these master models cannot be employed durable test in real harsh working environment. Parts by direct metal rapid tooling method, such as laser sintering, by now are hard to get net shape, pores of the green parts of powder casting method must be infiltrated to get proper strength as tool, and new type of 3D direct tooling system combining fabrication welding arc and cutting process is reported. But a system which can build directly 3D parts of high performance functional material as metal park would get long period of system development, massive investment and other serious obstacles, such as patent. In this paper, through the rapid tooling process as silicon rubber molding using R/P master model, and fabricate wax pattern in that silicon rubber mold using vacuum casting method, then we translated the wax patterns to numerous metal tool prototypes by new investment casting process combined conventional investment casting with rapid prototyping & rapid tooling process. With this wax-injection-mold-free investment casting, we developed new investment casting process of fabricating numerous functional metal prototypes from one master model, combined 3-D CAD, R/P and conventional investment casting and tried to expect net shape measuring total dimension shrinkage from R/P pare to metal part.

This paper presents experimental results on selecting optimal process parameters for UV-Vaccum casting. The UV-Vacuum casting is a relatively new process that allows very rapid mold preparation and part duplication via UV curing. Effect of various process variables such as pressure and temperature on mold strength and part accuracy was evaluated by using Taguchi method.

The die casting process was used to manufacture a alternator housing for automobile. Specially automobile parts were required light and hight strength. Therefore simulation have been carried out die casting process of the alternator housing. In this paper, we investigated about characteristics of the die casted alternator housing the HPDC(High Pressure Die Casting) process. Also we designed the die casting die with the simulation results of the alternator housing. The MAGMAsoft and Auto-CAD was used as computer simulation and design code and used material was ADC12(Aluminum Die Casting Alloy). We present the results of filling behavior and design of die process of the alternator housing cast. The result obtained about filling behavior and design of die of the cast showed good agreement with test result.
