Buildability of fresh concrete, a key element of Concrete 3D printing, is the ability to build filaments at a desirable height without excessive deformation or collapse. Buildability is closely related to yield stress, and the higher the yield stress, the better. Also, the shear stress of fresh concrete increases as it hardens over the time after extruded, and consequently the buildability increases. Therefore, in concrete 3D printing, proper time gaps between printed layers (Printing Time Gap, PTG) are required to ensure the buildability of fresh concrete. As the PTG increases, the buildability increases; however, an excessive PTG reduces the bond performance between the printed layers, and the extrudability can be lowered as the printing time increases. In this research, therefore, 3D printing experiments were conducted with the variable of PTG to examine the buildability of 100 MPa-high strength concrete. In addition, a pseudo-layer loading method was applied to simulate the buildability test for 3D concrete printing and its applicability was examined.

The extrudability of 3D printed concrete and its member strength can be highly influenced by water cement ratio (W/C) and printing time gap (PTG). In this study, mold cast specimens and 3D printed specimens were fabricated with variables of W/C ratio and PTG, and their shear bond strength and interlayer surface moisture content were measured and analyzed. The test results showed that the shear bond strength is greatly influenced by the amount of interlayer surface moisture. It is thus recommended that proper amount of interlayer surface moisture with respect to PTG needs to be maintained to have a required interlayer shear bond strength. In addition, further research is required to estimate the effect of many environmental factors that can influence the interlayer surface moisture content.

This paper examines the structural behavior of 3D printed concrete specimens with focus on the bond between the layers. The tensile bond and flexural strengths were investigated experimentally and compared with those of specimens made by conventional mold casting. The test parameters were the time gap between printing layers and the reinforcement between vertical layers. The results showed the 3D printed specimens had voids between layers and confirmed the strength reduction due to printing time gap and the stress concentration caused by the voids. Most of the reduction in tensile bond strength between layers was due to the stress concentration at least up to certain printing time gap. Moreover, beyond a certain printing time gap (24hours), the additional reduction in tensile bond strength reached a level that could affect the structural behavior. The reinforcement between layers was helpful to increase the ductile behavior which is essential to prevent the sudden collapse of the structure. In addition, the reduction in flexural strength due to the stress concentration by the voids was observed and should be considered in the design of 3D printed wall structures against the lateral load.

This study was to evaluate the effect of different rinsing times and methods on the accuracy of temporary prostheses fabricated by 3D printing method. Sixty temporary prostheses were fabricated with LCD types of 3D printer(Halot-Sky, Creality, Shenzhen, China) and divided into six groups (n = 10) based on rinsing times and methods. All specimens were rinsed with 99% isopropanol alcohol for 5 and 10 min using three methods-hand washed, ultrasonic cleaning, and automated washing. All specimens were polymerized for 3 minutes under the same conditions. The marginal and internal gaps of specimens were examined using a replica technique. The light-body silicone thickness was measured at 6 reference points(Absolute marginal discrepancy, Marginal, Chamfer, Axial, Angle, and Occlusal gap). All measurements were performed by a stereomicroscope. Reference point images were taken at 100× magnification and then measured using an image analysis program. Statistical analysis was performed using Two-way ANOVA, One-way ANOVA, and the Kruskal-Wallis test (p = .05). The marginal and internal gaps were statistically different according to the rinsing methods and rinsing times(p < .001). In the rinsing time, the temporary prosthesis rinsed for 5 minutes group showed higher accuracy than 10 minutes group. In the rinsing method, the hand washing group showed higher accuracy than the automated washing group.

There are various methods in the flat panel display manufacture. The cost reduction effect is very big in case of using the screen printing method. The screen printing method is much used in the process of forming PDP barrier and can apply to the process of arranging the pillars for maintaining the vacuum gap of the vacuum glazing panel. The pillar which is one of the core elements for comprising vacuum glazing maintains the vacuum gap overcoming the vacuum pressure difference with the atmospheric pressure generated in vacuum glazing. At the same time, the deformation phenomenon by vacuum pressure is relived. In this paper, by using FEM about three considered in the pillar design and arrangement kinds of limiting factors, the simulation was performed. The pillar optimum arrangement method at within the maximum allowable tensile stress and heat transfer coefficients according to the arrangement try to be presented based upon the analyzed result data review and this validity tries to be verified by FEM.

We demonstrated narrow and good aspect-ratio inkjet-printed silver lines with multi-time over-printing methods. By using this strategy, narrow silver lines were obtained with 200 nm thickness and their width and gap between printed lines of uniform narrow silver lines were 30 ${\mu}m$ and 17 ${\mu}m$, respectively. It also had good conductivity, sheet resistacne of 0.36 ${\Omega}/{\square}$ and specific resistance of $8{\mu}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$. In current stress test, narrow silver line with 30 ${\mu}m$ width was able to a current flow up to 50 mA (2.1A/$cm^2$). Using surface treatment on poly-arylate substrate with $UVO_3$, we obtained clean-edge narrow line without any edge waviness.

Photoimageable thick film technology is a new technology in that the lithography process such as exposure and development is applied to the conventional thick film process. Line resolution of 25 $\mu\textrm{m}$ width and 25 $\mu\textrm{m}$ space could be obtained by laminating green sheet, printing photoimageable Ag paste, exposing the test patterns, developing, and co-firing. In case of using the alumina substrate, 20 $\mu\textrm{m}$ fine line could be also obtained by similar process. Test results showed that exposing power density and developing time were the most important processing parameters for the fine line formation. Microstrip and series gap resonators with well-defined line morphology and good transmission characteristics in high frequency were formed by this new technology, and thereby dielectric constant and loss of test substrate were calculated.

This paper proposes how to solve a problem of FDM 3D printer's irregular output when changing volume of extrusion, adjusting movement speed of the printer's head and a way to fill new inner part. Existing slicers adjust directly to change the rotation speed of the stepper. In this method, the change of the extrusion area is delayed due to the gap between the stepper and the nozzle, so that precise control is difficult. We control the extrusion area adjusting the moving speed of the print head and making constantly the rotation speed of the stepper. Thus, the output time can be shortened by generating an efficient path having a short travel distance. For evaluation, we applied our method to lithophanes with detailed variation. Comparing existing methods, our method reduced output time at least 30%.
