Rapid Prototype has been used to design and Production of part in a variety of fields ; Car, Electronic products, Aviation, Heavy industry etc. Moreover development of hardware gave rise to use the method of Rapid Prototype more and more at high precision and complicated shapes. Expecially, to be using process of products that shapes of Micro-hole ; Cellular phones, Antennas, Jewels, Semi conductor cases. In case of Micro-shape, precision of the shape turns on various condition ; Laser size, Laminate height, scanning speed, overcure, viscosity of resin, etc. Sometimes breaks out the case that interner hole of shape is blocked by viscosity of resin. The phenomenon has solved easily to reduce viscosity of resin. But, in case of the method brings about the problem that strength goes down in actuality products hardening. This study on verify to change of shape of Micro-hole and makes the semiconductor case which has shape of Micro-hole by using resin of higher viscosity, scanning speed and overcure

Rapid Prototyping (RP) has been widely used for rapid development of prototypes in various industrial fields. In recent years, a new requirement in RP industry has issued so as to directly manufacture a functional prototype which has enough mechanical properties to be used as a functional part. The RP prototype, however, has a limitation in mechanical properties due to its layer-by-layer manufacturing process. This manufacturing process results in anisotropy of the prototype, especially showing weakness in the building direction. In the present work, we performed tensile tests for RP prototypes in order to determine directional mechanical properties. The test specimens were made by using $Eden330^{TM}$ by Object Geometries Ltd. Finite element analyses considering material anisotropy were then carried out for RP prototypes with various building directions. Effect of the building direction on the mechanical strength was investigated through the analysis, and compared with experimental results.

This study is the election 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 this paper, an experimental study of a hot forging process is carried out using plasticine and the die set manufactured with the aid of rapid prototyping. In order to manufacture the die set, Stereolithography Apparatus(SLA) which is most widely used rapid prototyping system is introduced. Turbine blade forging is performed using palsticine and the SLA prototype die set. Through the experiment, it has been shown that SLA prototype is suitable to the die set for the plasticine workpiece, and the formability and the forming load of turbine blade forging are predicted.

In the present industry, three-dimensional colored shape has required for realistic prototype in rapid manufacturing. Z-corporation developed 3D printer which can color three-dimensional prototype but this process can't be adopted to other rapid prototype products and spend much time and cost coloring 3D shape. In this study a new coloring process on three-dimensional surface is proposed for realistic prototype. Three-dimensional surface coloring apparatus is composed of HP ink jet head and X-Y plotter. Distance and angle between ink jet nozzle and 3D surface are set as process parameter. Based on the experiment of process parameters, it is shown that distance and angle affected on printed image on 3D surface. Circle and line shape are chosen as standard image shape because the shape has widely used as standard in 2D printing. Consequently, the distorted image on 3D surface is corrected by transformed input image data.

In this study, we analyzed about that after design form manufacture master pattern in Rapid Prototyping-RP through design program, processes to manufacture prototype using Vacuum Casting. In Rapid Prototyping-RP, there is an en-or by shrinkage of resin and, in Vacuum Casting, there is an error by shrinkage of silicon. To select condition which shrinkage become the minimum of each process, manufactured prototype after using Full Factorial Design of Design of Experiments, We could confirm shrinkage using reverse engineering and that result came into effect ANOVA 2-way. We applied errors of each process to master pattern, and then presented the method to improve flood control precision of prototype of Vacuum Casting.

Rapid prototyping is one of the most important technology for 21th century industry. To overcome the limitation of the material and function, Functional Prototype Development(FPD) concept is newly proposed. Wide function is necessary such as mechanical, optical, chemical and electrical property in order to solve broad requirements of the industry. The process of FPD has more than two conventional processes based on fusion technology and the FPD system is integrated with the interdisciplinary, interfacing and intelligent concepts. This paper shows some representative achievements such as optic coloring prototypes, electric multi layer printed circuit broad(MLB) and MEMS using electrostrictive polymer. Finally, we confirmed that FPD has a great possibility which can be applied in broad industry and will be a powerful tool in near future.

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.
