In order to generate the input data for rapid prototyping, a new approach which is based on the implicit surface interpolation method is presented. In the method a surface is reconstructed by creating smooth implicit surface from unorganized cloud of points through which the surface should pass. In the method an implicit surface is defined by the adaptive local shape functions including quadratic polynomial function, cubic polynomial function and RBF(Radial Basis Function). By the reconstruction of a surface, various types of error in raw STL file including degenerated triangles, undesirable holes with complex shapes and overlaps between triangles can be eliminated automatically. In order to get the slicing data for rapid prototyping an efficient intersection algorithm between implicit surface and plane is developed. For the direct usage for rapid prototyping, a robust transformation algorithm for the generation of complete STL data of solid type is also suggested.

In this work, rapid prototyping and three-dimensional finite element analysis are simultaneously applied to the die design of metal forming processes. Rapid prototyping is a new prototyping technology which produces three-dimensional part models directly from CAD data and has been extensively applied to various manufacturing processes. There are many types of rapid prototyping systems due to their building principles and materials. In this work, Stereolithography Apparatus(SLA), which is the most widely used rapidprototyping system, is introduced to manufacture the die set. For general preparation of STL file, which is the standard input file of rapid prototyping system, mesh data which are used in describing the die surface in finite element analysis are translated so that rapid prototyping and finite element analysis are dffectively connected. A die set for spider forging and a clover punch for deep drawing section are manufactured effciently using SLA prototypes, and metal forming experiments are carried out using them. Comparing the result of experiments with that of analyses, the processes can be predicted and designed successfully.

This paper presents an approach of complex control method(CCM) real-time simulation and rapid prototyping for aero-engine control system and describes its principle and realization in detail. This approach is mainly based on MATLAB/RTW for rapid prototyping from system modeling to embedded implementation. According to the simulation results between automatic code and manual code for an aeroengine multi-variable control method, it shows that this approach is feasible and effective, and not only decreases development cycle but also improves the reliability and universality. So a series of problems can be resolved during the simulation stage and rapid application to prototype testing.

Integrating computer-aided design with computer-aided fabrication and construction will fundamentally redefine the relationship between design and construction. Rapid prototyping(RP) is evaluated as one of the integration method available but it has been regarded as very expensive and complex design evaluation tool and is only suitable for large mechanical design shops in automobile and aerospace industry. However current status of rapid prototyping is changing since the new generation of RP equipment, less expensive and more user-friendlier, now can be installed and use in design firms. Simultaneously increasing use of 3D CAAD software is also helping to use rapid prototyping widely. It is crucial to acknowledge rapid prototyping technologies are not only for avant-garde architect such as Frank O. Gehry but ordinary 90% architects, who can have benefit from fast and cost-effective technology. With its fast development and adaptation in architectural industry, it is quite necessary to include rapid prototyping education in regular CAAD courses either undergraduate or graduate level.

Nano size 몰드의 제작은 X-ray lithography 방법을 이용하여 몰드를 제작하고, micro size의 경우 Deep UV lithography 방법을 이용하여 몰드를 제작하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 SLS(Selective Laser Sintering)형 RP(Rapid Prototyping System)을 이용하여 미세구조 몰드를 제작하였으며, 패턴의 깊이는 400 ㎛까지 구현하였다. 제작된 몰드의 강도와 내열성을 높이기 위하여 전해도금을 이용하여 몰드의 표면에 Ni를 300 ㎛생성 시켰다.

The purpose of this study is the development or the extensive Rapid Prototyping Technique. which can resolve the long-term manufacturing process, shrinkage and deformation occurring rapid prototyping technique. To begin with. the various specimens for tensile were manufactured on the basis of this modeling technology. Then, many kinds of the laminate pieces for the test were made by using the sheet metals lmm and 1.5mm thickness which is composed of the same ingredient. The tensile specimen were manufactured by changing the process variables, Such as electric current, pressure and resistance welding time for the Rapid Prototyping with metal sheet. And then by using the Taguchi method. The interrelation between the specimen and mechanical properties were determined and the system for the optimum process variable organized.

Rapid Prototyping(RP) techniques have revolutionized traditional manufacturing methods. These techniques allow the user to fabricate a part directly from a conceptual model before investing in production tooling and help develop new models with significant short time. This paper suggests to new process to manufacture large size hollow shape parts for prototype-car using Rapid Prototyping technology and Vacuum Molding with the reduction of delivery time. In addition, This paper introduces the dividing and combining method to make large size RP master model in spite of the limit of the build chamber dimensions of commercialized RP system and post-processing method to achieve sufficient surface quality.

Recently, with a great interest in micromachine, it is more and more important to promote the way of manufacturing micromachine. The silicon process or the LIGA process was the main method to manufacture micromachine in the past. But, these manufacturing method was 2.5-dimensinal, there was the limit in manufacturing perfect 3-dimensional structure micromachine. In this study, we developed the rapid prototyping system for micromachining and tested its property. We also realized .mu. m-order manu- facturing and 3-dimensional structure processing. The results showed the possibility of micromachining with the rapid prototyping system.

Statement of problem. Relatively low success rate of root analogue implant system was supposed to be due to the time duration between extraction and implant installation. The use of three-dimensional computer tomography and the reconstruction of objects using rapid prototyping methods would be helpful to shorten this time. Purpose. This aim of this study was to evaluate the application possibility of the 3-dimensional computer tomography and the rapid prototyping to root analogue implants. Material and methods. Ten single rooted teeth were prepared. Width and height of the teeth were measured by the marking points. This was followed by CT scanning, data conversion and rapid prototyping model fabrication. 2 methods were used; fused deposition modelling and stereolithography. Same width and height of this models were measured and compared to the original tooth. Results. Fused deposition modelling showed an enlarged width and reduced height. The stereolithography showed more exact data compared with the fused deposition modelling. Smaller standard deviation were recorded in the stereolithographic method. Overall width error from tooth to rapid prototyping was 7.15% in fused deposition modelling and 0.2% in stereolithography. Overall height showed the tendency of reducing dimensions. Conclusion. From the results of this study, stereolithography seems to be very predictable method of fabricating root analogue implant.

실 제품을 제작하기 전 컴퓨터를 이용해 프로토타이프를 제작해 미리 제품은 평가하는 방법이 널리 사용되고 있다. 프로토타이핑 작업으로 제품의 외관을 미리 평가하는 부분은 이미 실효성을 입증 받았다. 그러나 사용자 인터페이스(User Interface) 디자인 부분에 대한 평가에서는 아직 그 유효성에 대한 연구가 충분하지 못한 형편이다. 본 연구는 프로토타이핑 방법에 의한 사용자 인터페이스 디자인 평가가 과연 적절한 방법이 될 수 있는 지에 대해 실험적 검정을 수행하였다. 대상이 되는 제품으로 전자렌지를 선택했으며 이를 컴퓨터를 이용해 프로토타이프를 제작했다. 12명의 피실험자들을 나누어 실 제품과 프로토타이프에 대한 사용성 평가를 수행하였고 그 결과를 분석하였다. 분석 결과 실 제품과 프로토타이프 사이에 작업성공률, 작업수행시간, 버튼 조작 회수 등에 차이가 있는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이는 아직도 프로토타이핑 방법이 사용성 평가 도구로 사용하기에는 보완해야할 점이 많이 있다는 것을 의미한다. 토의에서는 이에 대한 원인 규명과 문제점 해결을 위한 보완 사항 등을 제시하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 현장에서 래피드 프로토타이핑 방법을 적용해 제품의 사용성 평가를 수행하려는 디자이너들에게 도움을 줄 수 있을 것이다
