Requirements of a benchmarking for rapid prototyping systems and process usually include manufacturing time, cost (including system price), and dimensional accuracy. This paper deals with a benchmarking comparisons to investigate the functional requirements of RP system. A special designed IMS_T2 test part with dimensional. geometrical, and surface roughness features has been used in the inspection of RP processes. IMS_T2 test part was built on 5 commercially available RP machines which are relatively new model in Korea.

쾌속조형기술(Rapid Prototyping Technology)은 설계단계에 있는 3차원 모델을 시제품(Prototype)으로 다른 중간과정 없이 빠르게 생성하는 새로운 기술을 말한다. CAD 모델 데이터는 3차원 형상 시스템이지만 모니터 화면이나 문서로 출력할 때는 2차원으로 밖에 표시되지 않는다. 반면에 쾌속조형기술은 설계된 3차원 CAD 데이터를 2차원 단면 데이터로 변환한 후 RP(Rapid Prototyping)공정을 적용하여 순차적으로 적층해 감으로써 CAD 데이터와 같은 3차원 입체 형상을 제작하게 된다. 그러나 RP 시스템은 매우 가격이 비싸서 칫솔이나 완구 등과 같은 생활용품을 제작하는 중소기업에서는 구입하기 어려운 상황이다. 본 논문에서는 오픈소스를 사용하여 RP 기술을 구현함으로써 저렴한 가격으로 구매할 수 있는 RP 시스템을 개발하기 위한 3차원 제어시스템을 제안하였다.

In order to reduce the lead-time and cost, many useful methods have been applied to Rapid Prototyping (RP) in recent years. But cutting process is still considered as one of the effective RP methods that have been developed and currently available in the industry. It also owen practical advantages such as precision and versatility. However, traditional 3 axis NC machining has some inherent limitations such as the restriction of tool accessibility and the complex setup. In this work, a new rapid prototyping system with high speed 5 axis machining has been developed to overcome those limitations. The architecture of developed system is described in detail and the successful application examples are presented.

The technology of rapid prototyping (RP) is used for design verification, function test and fabrication of prototype. The current issues in RP are improvement in accuracy and application of various materials. In this paper, a hybrid rapid prototyping system is introduced which can fabricate nano composites using various materials. This hybrid system adopts RP and machining process, so material deposition and removal is performed at the same time in a single station. As examples, micro gears and a composite scaffold were fabricated using photo cured polymer with nano powders such as carbon black and hydroxyapatite. From the micro gear samples the hybrid RP technology showed higher precision than those made by casting or deposition process.

At the stage of initial design, prototypes are needed for engineering and aesthetic purposes. In order to get a fast and non-expensive prototype, designers prefer rapid prototyping(RP) to any other means. In driving a 3D CAD model into rapid prototyping, sectioning the model is essential and there are two negotiation-needed targets, enhancing accuracy while taking less build-time, which makes adaptive slicing taken into account. In spite of the advantages of adaptive slicing, it is not yet applied to real RP machines because of the limits of hardwares. In this thesis, a new slicing algorithm which (1)uses several values of thickness available in a RP machine. (2)determines total number of layers to make the prototype within the intended time and (3)arranges the layers using orthogonal arrays to minimize the volume error caused by the difference between a given CAD model and a fabricated model is presented. And the algorithm is expected to have possibility of assisting RP machines to take the advantages of adaptive slicing.

This study is the selection of optimum forming condition for RP system using ADS. Program using ADS reduces the required time for feedback between design and manufacturing of workpiece. When we produce rapid prototype using RP system, we investigate the relationship between Facetres in system variable number of AutoCAD and circularity of rapid prototype, and we will find optimum forming condition in RP system.

In today's highly competitive marketplace, it is of great significance for the manufacturing industry to reduce lead-time and costs fur the product development. Since first emerged in 1986, Rapid Prototyping (RP) technology has helped successfully to reduce time and costs. Recently, RP using functional materials such as metal has been researched. However RP using the molten metal has been struggling to resolve several drawbacks, such as dimensional inaccuracy, poor surface finish, post finishing, etc., that originate primarily from the overall deposition of molten metal for each layer. So, the purpose of this study is to develop a new RP technique using sheet metal and projection welding for reducing several drawbacks in occurring RP using molten metal. Also tensile and bending specimens were made by the developed RP process using projection welding and were verified.

RP(Rapid Prototyping) 기술은 점점 그 활용범위를 넓혀가는 추세이며, 의료분야에서도 임플란트의 제작등에 RP 기술의 도입이 시도되고 있다. 뼈나 치아 등의 인체부속물들은 속성상 직접 그 형태를 파악하기가 힘들고, 따라서 그 대체물인 임플란트의 제작을 위해 MRI나 CT등의 장비가 사용되고 있다. 의료분야에까지 이르는 RP의 활발한 활용에도 불구하고, 아직 국내에서는 RP에 대한 인식이 부족하고 그 활용에 대한 연구가 거의 없는 상황이다. 본 논문은 MRI, CT등의 2차원 평면데이터로부터 직접 RP 기계의 표준입력화일인 STL 파일을 생성시키기 위한 방법을 제시한다. 그리고 MRI로 스캐닝된 사람의 머리뼈 형상을 삼각메쉬 형태의 STL 파일로 변화하여 RP 기계를 통한 실물 모형 제작이 가능하도록 한 예를 설명하였다.

Even as many methods and technologies have been introduced on data generation, parts orientation and layer slicing to acquire the rapid prototyping(RP) parts that have useful surface to satisfy customers' needs such as stylingldesign verification directionlindirect tooling directly from the RP machine, these trials continue to suffer from the surface roughness due to the build characteristics of RP technology. A new postprocess finishing method is suggested in this paper to overcome the surface roughness problem on the surface of the RP parts. To prevent deterioration of dimensional accuracy from the conventional grinding-only, and coating-grinding methods, 4-step surface finishing process is applied. To satisfy the various requirements from the RP oriented industrial f elds, effective procedure, coating material, grmd~ng tools and methods are employed.
