Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to measure and compare the thickness-dependent color dimensions of digital light processing (DLP) three-dimensional (3D) printer and conventional interim restorative resin. Methods: Specimens (N=60) were fabricated using either subtractive manufacturing (S group) or DLP 3D printing (D group) material. All milled and 3D-printed specimens were allocated into three different groups (n=10) according to different thicknesses as follows: 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 mm. Color measurements in the CIELab coordinates were made using a spectrophotometer under room light conditions (1,003 lux). The color differences (𝚫E^*) between the specimen and control target data were calculated. Data were analyzed using the oneway analysis of variance (ANOVA). Post hoc comparisons were conducted using Tukey's honestly significant difference method (α=0.05 for all tests). Results: The 𝚫L^*, 𝚫a^*, 𝚫b^*, and 𝚫E^* values of interim restorative resin produced by DLP 3D printing were obtained in terms of the specimen's thickness increased compared with the increases by subtractive manufacturing. When the thickness was similar, the color difference between subtractive manufacturing and DLP 3D printing was ≥5.5, which is a value required by the dentist for remanufacturing. Conclusion: Color was influenced by the thickness of the interim restorative resin produced by DLP 3D printing.

정형외과는 인체의 모든 근골격계를 담당하기 때문에 3차원(3-dimensional, 3D) 프린팅 기술을 가장 많이 활용할 수 있는 분야이다. 구체적으로 관절염, 척추, 외상, 기형, 종양 등의 다양한 정형외과 질병에 대해 해부학적 모델, 수술용 가이드, 금속 임플란트, 바이오-세라믹 재건, 보조기 등의 형태로 활용될 수 있다. 특히 정형외과 종양 영역은 환자마다 종양의 발생 위치와 크기가 다양한 데 반하여 사지 보존 수술에 활용할 수 있는 기존의 수술 방법이 제한적이었기 때문에 3D 프린팅 기술의 활용이 매우 절실한 분야였다. 최근에 3D 프린팅 환자 맞춤형 임플란트를 짧은 시간 내에 쉽게 제작할 수 있게 되면서 기존 방법으로 골 재건이 어려웠던 부위에 대해서도 해부학적 재건이 가능하게 되었다. 3D 프린팅 기술을 의료 영역에서 더욱 폭넓게 사용하기 위해서는 디자인, 출력, 검증 과정에 필요한 많은 전문가들과 함께 수평적 위치에서 긴밀히 협력해야 한다. 의료계에서 3D 프린팅을 활용을 선도함으로써 다른 분야의 전문가 양성 및 3D 프린팅 관련 산업의 발달을 촉진시킬 수 있다고 판단한 정부도 규제보다는 활성화에 역점을 두고 적극적으로 지원하고 있는 추세이다. 앞으로 정형외과가 전체 의료계에서 3D 프린팅 기술의 도입과 활용을 선도해 가기를 기대하면서 골종양 수술에서 3D 프린팅 기술을 활용하였던 저자의 경험을 소개하고자 한다.

This study was developed using the DTP (digital textile printing) jacquard fabrics with a three-dimensional pattern for bag and evaluated the preference and emotional structure. The following conclusions were obtained. Three-dimensional patterns of 12 species using the illustrator program, including six kinds of designs based on the text and six kinds of character types based on the geometry of the basic design was developed. As a result of evaluating the preference of the three-dimensional pattern jacquard fabric, the most preferred fabric was a three-dimensional patterned jacquard fabric with a motif of the Korean consonant "ㅅ". The results of analyzing the emotional dimension of the three-dimensional pattern jacquard fabric, eight factors including simple image, feminine image, exotic image, graphic image, sporty image, masculine image, dynamic image and stereoscopic image were derived. Between emotional factors and preferences correlation analysis showed the stronger the simple image, the feminine image, and the sporty image, the more preferable. It suggested the possibility of a morphological and new fabric for bag, textile design motifs by using Hangul consonants attempt to limit the flatness of the existing geometric form patterns that can be applied to three-dimensional bag whether swirly patterns overcome.

Hybrid manufacturing technology has been advanced to overcome limitations due to traditional fabrication methods. To fabricate a micro/nano-scale structure, various manufacturing technologies such as lithography and etching were attempted. Since these manufacturing processes are limited by their materials, temperature and features, it is necessary to develop a new three-dimensional (3D) printing method. A novel nano-scale 3D printing system was developed consisting of the Nano-Particle Deposition System (NPDS) and the Focused Ion Beam (FIB) to overcome these limitations. By repeating deposition and machining processes, it was possible to fabricate micro/nano-scale 3D structures with various metals and ceramics. Since each process works in different chambers, a transfer process is required. In this research, nanoscale 3D printing system was briefly explained and an alignment algorithm for nano-scale 3D printing system was developed. Implementing the algorithm leads to an accepted error margin of 0.5% by compensating error in rotational, horizontal, and vertical axes.

Three-dimensional (3D) printing is applied to many areas of life, but 3D printing models are stolen by pirates and distributed without any permission from the original providers. Moreover, some special models and anti-weapon models in 3D printing must be secured from the unauthorized user. Therefore, 3D printing models must be encrypted before being stored and transmitted to ensure access and to prevent illegal copying. This paper presents a selective encryption algorithm for 3D printing models based on clustering and the frequency domain of discrete cosine transform. All facets are extracted from 3D printing model, divided into groups by the clustering algorithm, and all vertices of facets in each group are transformed to the frequency domain of a discrete cosine transform. The proposed algorithm is based on encrypting the selected coefficients in the frequency domain of discrete cosine transform to generate the encrypted 3D printing model. Experimental results verified that the proposed algorithm is very effective for 3D printing models. The entire 3D printing model is altered after the encryption process. The decrypting error is approximated to be zero. The proposed algorithm provides a better method and more security than previous methods.

We present a novel process to fabricate three-dimensional (3D) metallic patterns from 3D printed polymeric structures utilizing different hygroscopic swelling behavior of two different polymeric materials. 3D patterns are printed with two different polymers as cube shape. The surface of the 3D printed polymeric structures is plated with nickel by an electroless plating method. The nickel patterns on the surface of the 3D printed cube shape structure are formed by removing sacrificial layers using the difference in the rate of hygroscopic swelling between two printing polymer materials. The hygroscopic behavior on the interfaced structure was modeled with COMSOL Multiphysics. The surface and electrical properties of the fabricated three-dimensional patterns were analyzed and characterized.

A 74-year-old female patient, who underwent surgery for a left distal tibiofibular fracture 40 years earlier, visited the hospital with an ankle varus deformity due to malunion. The patient complained of discomfort while walking due to the ankle and hindfoot varus deformity but did not complain of ankle pain. Therefore, correction using supramalleolar osteotomy was planned, and through virtual surgical simulation, it was predicted that a correction angle of 24° and an osteotomy gap open of 12 mm would be necessary. An osteotomy guide and an osteotomy gap block were made using three-dimensional (3D) printing to perform the osteotomy and correct the deformity according to the predicted goal. One year after surgery, it was observed that the ankle varus was corrected according to the surgical simulation, and the patient was able to walk comfortably. Thus, for correction of deformity, virtual surgical simulation and a 3D-printed osteotomy guide can be used to predict the target value for correction. This is useful for increasing the accuracy of correction of the deformity.

Additive Manufacturing defines the fabrication of objects by successive consolidation of materials, layer by layer, according to a three-dimensional design. The numerous technologies available today were recently standardized into seven categories based on the general method. Each technology has its own set of advantages and limitations. Though it very much depends on the field of application, major assets of additive manufacturing compared to conventional processing routes are the ability to readily offer complexity (in terms of intricate shape and customization) and significant reduction of waste. On the other hand, additive manufacturing often suffers of relatively low production rates. Anyhow, additive manufacturing technologies is being given outstanding attention. In particular, metal additive manufacturing emerges as of great significance in industries like aerospace, automotive and tooling. The trend progresses toward full production of high value finished products.

Digital dentistry has influenced many dental procedures, such as three-dimensional (3D) diagnosis and treatment planning, surgical splints, and prosthetic treatments. Patient-specific protective appliances (PSPAs) prevent dental injury during endotracheal intubation. However, the required laboratory work takes time, and there is the possibility of tooth extraction while obtaining the dental impression. In this technical report, we utilized new digital technology for creating PSPAs, using direct intraoral scanners and 3D printers for dental cast fabrication.
