surface texture denotes set of tiny repetitive geometric features on an object surface. 3D Printing can readily create a surface of controlled macro-textures of high geometric complexity. Designing surface textures for 3D Printing, however, is difficult due to complex macro-structure of the tiny texture geometry since it needs to be compatible with the non-traditioal manufacturing method. In this paper we propose a visual simulation technique involving development of a virtual model-an intermediate geometric model-of the surface texture design prior to fabricating the physical model. Careful examination of the virtual model before the actual fabrication can help minimize unwanted design iterations. The proposed technique demonstrated visualization capability by comparing the virtual model with the physical model for several test cases.

In recent years, inkjet printing technology has received significant attention as a micro/nanofabrication technique for flexible printing of electronic circuits and solar cells, as well for biomaterial patterning. It eliminates the need for physical masks, causes fewer environment problems, lowers fabrication costs, and offers good layer-to-layer registration. To fulfill the requirements for use in the above applications, however, the inkjet system must meet certain criteria such as high frequency jetting, uniform droplet size, high density nozzle array, etc. Existing inkjet devices are either based on thermal bubbles or piezoelectric pumping; they have several drawbacks for flexible printing. For instance, thermal bubble jetting has limitations in terms of size and density of the nozzle array as well as the ejection frequency. Piezoelectric based devices suffer from poor pumping energy in addition to inadequate ejection frequency. Recently, an electrohydrodynamic (EHD) printing technique has been suggested and proposed as an alternative to thermal bubble or piezoelectric devices. In EHD jetting, a liquid (ink) is pumped through a nozzle and a strong electric field is applied between the nozzle and an extractor plate, which induce charges at the surfaces of the liquid meniscus. This electric field creates an electric stress that stretches the meniscus in the direction of the electric field. Once the electric field force is larger than the surface tension force, a liquid droplet is formed. An EHD inkjet head can produce droplets smaller than the size of the nozzle that produce them. Furthermore, the EHD nano-inkjet can eject high viscosity liquid through the nozzle forming tiny structures. These unique features distinguish EHD printing from conventional methods for sub-micron resolution printing. In this presentation, I will introduce the recent research results regarding the EHD nano-inkjet and the printing system, which has been applied to solar cell or thin film transistor applications.

The printing of nanomaterials onto certain substrates is one of the key technologies behind high-speed interconnection and high-performance electronic devices. For the printing of next-generation electronic devices, a printing process which can be applied to a flexible substrate is needed. A printing process on a flexible substrate requires a lowtemperature, non-vacuum process due to the physical properties of the substrate. In this study, we obtained well-ordered Ag nanowires using modified gravure printing techniques. Ag nanowires are synthesized by a silver nitrate ($AgNO_3$) reduction process in an ethylene glycol solution. Ag nanowires were well aligned by hydrodynamic force on a micro-engraved Si substrate. With the three-dimensional structure of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), which has an inverse morphology relative to the micro-engraved Si substrate, the sub-micron alignment of Ag nanowires is possible. This technique can solve the performance problems associated with conventional organic materials. Also, given that this technique enables large-area printing, it has great applicability not only as a next-generation printing technology but also in a range of other fields.

3D 프린터는 3D도면을 입력받아 적층가공 방식으로 재료를 쌓아 원하는 제품을 제작하는 프린터이다. 3D 프린터는 다양한 입체 제품을 출력할 수 있고, 짧은 시간 내에 제품 출력이 가능하여 다양한 분야에서 사용되고 있다. 이러한 3D 프린터는 다양한 종류의 출력방식과 재료가 있는데 본 논문에서는 이중 ABS(Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)수지를 녹여 쌓는 FDM(Fused Deposition Modeling)방식을 고려한다. 이 방식을 사용한 3D 프린터는 고온에서 제품을 출력하여 짧은 시간 내에 냉각이 진행되는데, 이 과정에서 출력물의 크기나 주변 환경의 상태에 따라서 휘어짐 현상이 발생한다. 이러한 휘어짐 현상을 최소화하기 위해 현재 사용되고 있는 방법은 온도를 적정선으로 유지해주는 방식이다. 이 방식은 온도 유지를 위한 추가적인 장비가 필요하여 본 논문에서는 휘어짐 현상을 최소화하기 위한 3D 프린팅 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 방식은 제품의 최초설계 시 휘어짐 위치를 고려하여 적당한 구멍(홈)을 생성시켜 출력하는 방법을 기반으로 한다. 제안된 방법에 대한 수학적 모델을 제시하고, 성능평가를 위해 일반적인 방식을 사용한 출력물과 제안된 방법으로 설계한 출력물을 측정하고 분석한다.

The inorganic powder EL lamp was made by screen printing technique with a phosphor ink and a dielectric ink. Value of color coordinates X and Y increased under the condition of supplying driving power to the inorganic powder EL lamp and changing voltage with constant frequency. When frequency was changed under the constant voltage, value of color coordinates X and Y were decreased with increasing frequency. However, level of change of color coordinates X was different from color coordinates Y. When voltage was increased under constant frequency, changing degree of color coordinates X and Y shows similarity. But under the constant voltage with changing frequency, color coordinates X and Y were differently changed that degree of change of color coordinates Y showed five times more than that of color coordinates X. As increasing thickness of phosphor ink and dielectric ink, level of voltage and frequency, color coordinates X and Y were slightly changed. According to the thickness of phosphor ink and dielectric ink, and level of voltage and frequency, color coordinate of color light was changed. Frequency was most important element influencing on the change of color coordinate.

A laser beam expanding technique is employed to fabricate precise nano-patterns in a nano-replication printing (nRP) process. In the nRP process, some patterns can be fabricated in the range of several microns inside on a polymerizable resin by using a volume-pixel (voxel) matrix that is transformed from a two-tone bitmap figure file. The liquid monomers are polymerized by means of a two-photon-absorption (TPA) phenomenon that is induced by a femtosecond (fs)-pulse laser. The yokels are generated consecutively to merge into adjoining yokels in the process of fabricating a pattern. The resolution of a fabricated pattern can be obtained under the diffraction limit of a laser beam by the two-photon absorbed polymerization (TPP). In this work, a beam-expanding technique has been applied to enlarge a working area and to fabricate precise patterns. Through this work, a working area is expanded by the technique as much as 2.5 times compared with a case of without a beam expanding technique, and precision of outside patterns is improved.
