This study aimed to suggest a novel method of modeling a hearing aid ear shell based on Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine (DICOM) in the hearing aid ear shell manufacturing method using a 3D printer. In the experiment, a 3D external auditory meatus was extracted by using the critical values in the DICOM volume images, and the modeling surface structures were compared in standard type STL (STereoLithography) files which could be recognized by a 3D printer. In this 3D modeling method, a conventional ear model was prepared, and the gaps between adjacent isograms produced by a 3D scanner were filled with 3D surface fragments to express the modeling structure. In this study, the same type of triangular surface structures were prepared by using the DICOM images. The result showed that the modeling surface structure based on the DICOM images provide the same environment that the conventional 3D printers may recognize, eventually enabling to print out the hearing aid ear shell shape.

The recent 3D printing technology is used in various medical, manufacturing, and education fields and is more efficient in terms of production process, time, and cost than existing production. Especially in fracture surgery, interest and research have been focused on improving accuracy, shortening of operation time and recovery time, and reducing reoperation. However, because of the financial and technical problems of the 3D printer and the file conversion program, the 3D printing is made directly at the hospital, and it is not generally used for diagnosis of fracture and surgical research. In this study, to solve those problems, clavicle CT imaging was switched into Osirix Open Source DICOM Viewer, Stereolithography file conversion programs and commercial Terarecon 3D DICOM Viewer, file conversion programs, and then clavicle fracture model was directly made through 3D printer of fused filament fabrication wire additive processing method, and then the accuracy of the shape was compared and analyzed. Clavicle fracture models printed in two methods were blind-tested on clinicians of general hospitals' orthopedics and radiologic technicians with over 10 years of experiences, and then their analysis opinions of resolution reviews were analyzed. The result showed no difference. The 3D printing model with open source DICOM STL file conversion program used was applicable to clinical, so it is considered useful in precision diagnosis of fracture and operation plans.

3D 프린터를 이용하여 출력을 하기 위해서는 3D 모델 데이터를 G-code로 변환하는 과정을 수행해야 한다. 일반적으로 3D 모델은 STL 파일 형식으로 저장되는데, 이 파일은 대개 삼각형 형식인 페이셋들의 좌표 데이터를 포함하고 있다. 만약 3D 모델의 크기가 커지거나 정밀도가 높아진다면, 페이셋의 수가 매우 많아지게 되고, 결과적으로 3D 모델에서 G-code로 변환하는 시간이 길어지게 된다. 본 논문에서는 널리 활용되고 있는 Hadoop에서 변환 소프트웨어를 개발하고자 하였다. Hadoop은 마스터 노드와 여러 데이터 노드들이 Map-Reduce 방식으로 작업을 수행한다. 이러한 노드들은 하둡 파일시스템(HDFS)을 공유할 수 있어 작업을 효율적으로 수행할 수 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 이 시스템의 기능을 활용하여 기존에 개발된 분산 알고리즘을 변형한 후 이를 구현하고자 한다.

STEP is a neutral model for exchanging CAD modelbetween different CAD systms. The paper presents a laser path contour generation for rapid prototyping originated form STEP format files without using any tools nor libraries for STEP data manipulation. Polygons are generated from every point on the layer of given thickness, which are the intersections of layer plane and edges stored in entity tables. Curves are approximated with polygons whitin segment tolerance limit in order to cover sculptured surfaces. With the advantage of less data loss in direct slicing over STL formats, the system developed in this work shows a good potential to provide data share with various CAD systems including RP data preparation.

가상기계란 하드웨어로 이루어진 물리적 시스템과는 달리 소프트웨어로 제작되어 논리적인 시스템 구성을 갖는 개념적인 프로세서이다. 가상기계 기술은 기계의 프로세서나 운영체제가 바뀌더라도 응용프로그램을 변경하지 않고 사용할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 최근에는 GVM, KVM 등 모바일 단말기를 위한 가상기계들이 개발되면서 그 중요성이 더욱 부각되고 있으며 특히, 임베디드 시스템을 위한 가상기계 기술은 모바일 디바이스와 디지털 TV 등의 다운로드 솔루션에 꼭 필요한 소프트웨어 기술이다. 본 논문에서는 바이트코드, MSIL 등 기존의 가상기계를 위한 어셈블리 언어들의 분석을 기반으로 하여 임베디드 시스템을 위한 가상기계의 표준 중간 언어인 STL(Standard Intermediate Language)을 제안하고 니모닉(Mnemonic)을 정의한다. SIL은 SIL Assembler에 의해 EVM의 실행 파일인 *.evm의 형태로 번역되며 객체지향 프로그래밍 언어와 순차적인 프로그래밍 언어를 모두 수용할 수 있는 특징을 지닌다.

In the Stereolithography process, three-dimensional objects are built by sequentially curing, generated by horizontal slicing of a three-dimensional CAD model. The dimensional accuracy of a menufactured part depends on the accuracy of curing performed by laser beam radius and the half of curing width. When offsetting, some slices have collinear segments, coincident vertices, line jerks and open loops. After remove above issues we have correct offsets data. And in last step, these data are used to scan paths.

At present trend 3D Printing technology has been using more efficiently than conventional subtractive manufacturing method in various medical fields, in particular this technology superior in saving production time, cost and process than conventional. Especially in orthopedics, an attractive attention has been paid by adopting this technology because of improving operation, operation accuracy, and reducing the patient's pain. Though 3D printing technology has enormous applications still in some hospitals have not been using due to having the problem of technical utilization of hardware, software & chiefly financial availability and etc. In order to solve these problems by reducing the cost and time, we have used CT images in pre-operative planning by directly making the pelvic fracture model with open source DICOM viewer and STL file conversion program, assembly 3D printer of FDM wire additive manufacturing. After having the customized bone model of six patients who underwent unstable pelvic fracture surgery, we have operated our system in orthopedic section of University Hospital through the clinician. Later, we have received better reviews and comments on utilization availability, results, and precision and now our system considered to be useful in surgical planning.

In recent years, digital technology has been developed in dentistry, which denture frameworks can be manufactured using DMLS (Direct Metal Laser Sintering) technique. A traditional impression method can be replaced by oral scanning and wax pattern production process can be achieved by the use of CAD/CAM techniques. The designed STL files can be sent to DMLS devices to fabricate final components of removable partial dentures (RPD). The advantages of digital dentistry are concision and precision. In this case study, a fracture of occlusal rests providing support and indirect retention was repaired by DMLS and laser welding techniques. It shows satisfactory results in adaptation accuracy and functional properties of the repaired denture.
