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 roundness of rapid prototype, and we will find optimum forming condition in RP system.

There are more than five dozen different RP(rapid prototyping) systems in the world and they are fairly expensive. All those systems have different capabilities and requirements in that each of them gives different tolerance, application field and part strength, etc. This situation may cause a problem of selecting an appropriate RP system. This paper presents an expert system, utilizing an algorithm that is composed up of rules to derive recommendations and answers to queries of the RP users. The expert system incorporates RP machines commercially available and adopts multi-selection criteria, namely, machine price, accuracy, build size, adopted process, etc. In the expert system, forward reasoning method is adopted and external spreadsheet for sub-data of the RP systems is used. The rules and knowledge are obtained from interviews and discussions with RP vendors and users, appropriate research publications and other reference materials.

A study is the selection of optimum forming condition for RP system. We develop the Automatic design program for machine element using visual LISP program in AutoCAD. Automatic design program reduces the required time for feedback between design and manufacturing of workpiece. Also we investigate the relationship between circularity of 3D solid model and circularity of rapid prototype using RP system and we will find optimum forming condition in RP system.

RP system which is widely used to reduce the time of product development is to resolve the problem of cutting work. It is a method using laminated thin films to produce many forms. The RP equipment used for this experiment is FDM system. This can produce 3D model with using 3D CAD designed file within a relatively short time. Not only this, this system also through 3D file preparation, 3D product manufacture, removal support these 3 step operating process can easily produce goods, but product can be different from original design. This research has been conducted to minimize this error. To apply to the circular product made a circular specimen and measured several times with 3D scanner and find out average 99.622% of accuracy. This result is applied to RP system, and with this changed design produced a specimen, and found out the accuracy is increased to 99.958%. If this is applied to circular products, we can produce more precise products with less process.

Rapid Prototyping(RP)이란 짧은 시간 내에 CAD 그래픽 데이터로부터 3차원 형상의 시제품을 만들어 내는 기술을 일컬으며, 1986년 3D Systems라는 회사에 의하여 상용화된 SLA(Stereolithography Apparatus)방식을 선두로 하여 지난 10년간 급속히 발전을 해왔다. 원하는 형상의 부품을 만들 때 기존의 machining은 원자재에서 재료를 깎아내면서 만드는 반면에, RP는 재료를 한 층씩 차례로 쌓아서 부품을 만드는 가산적인 공정 특징을 가지고 있다. 액체, 고체, 심지어 기체 상태의 재료까지 다양한 재료를 사용하고 있으며 또한 여러가지 적층방법으로 부품을 제작하고 있다. 성공적인 RP기술의 창출에는 RP기계제작에 직접 관계되는 기술뿐만 아니라, 재료 기술, RP제작에 적합한 CAD데이터 생성기술, 후처리 및 가공기술 등이 모두 관건이 된다. 여기서는 RP기술의 주요 파트 제작방법과 RP에 쓰이는 재료, RP의 용도 및 그 한계성 등에 대하여 생각하여 보았다. RP기술은 3차원 CAD 모델이 없으면 실현이 불가능하다. 3차원(3D)화는 제품을 설계하고 만드는 대부분의 회사가 경쟁력을 갖기 위하여 싫든 좋든 이루어야 하는 목표 중의 하나라고 할 수 있는데, RP기술 도입은 이러한 3차원화를 단축시키는 촉매제의 역할을 할 수 있다고 생각한다. RP기술이 부분적으로 정확도의 문제와 제작 가능한 재료의 종류 및 성능에 제한이 있지만, 현재로서도 여러 응용분야에 성공적으로 이용되고 있으며 향후에는 더욱 그 응용 범위를 넓혀갈 것으로 전망된다.

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.

In the study, we described on the 3D solid model be made on the AutoCAD haved an effect on the deviation of form as RP manufactures the facetres. The STL file improved the deviation of form as the facetres value but the deviation of form have the difference a little as the RP system. In result, we ruled the correlation with the 3D solid model and the RP sample manufacturing, with manufacture RP sample according to facetres value in complex shape. And we developed the program which recombination the STL file that we make use of the AutoLISP.

In this paper, benchmark tests of Rapid Prototyping(RP) are presented to evaluate characteristics of various RP Systems and Processes, and several decision-support systems are developed to select RP Machine/Process suitable to user's requirements. Results of the RP benchmark tests are applied to the recently developed RP machines for the purpose of analyzing attributes such as dimensional accuracy, surface roughness, build cost, build time, and etc. Decision-making support systems are also developed, which contain not only new LCE (Linear Confidence Equation) algorithm but also modified PRES and MDS algorithm. Those algorithms are proved to be effective in that reasonably acceptable results are obtained on several cases of different inputs.
