Direct ＆ adaptive slicing of sculptured surfaces in RP improves, quality ＆ accuracy of the final product, compared to the slicing with uniform layer thickness or the slicing of facets (ie, STL). Present D＆A slicing procedures adaptively compute the next layer thickness based on the surface information of current sliced contour, which assumes constant normal curvature values. In some cases, however. such assumption leads to intolerable slicing result which cannot correctly consider the entire local feature shape. We propose improved adaptive slicing algorithms which can determine near-optimal layer thickness, including illustrated examples.

AlSi12 is a heat-resistant aluminum alloy that is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, machinable and attracting attention as a functional material in aerospace and automotive industries. For that reason, AlSi12 powder has been used for high performance parts through 3D printing technology. The purpose of this study is to observe deposition characteristics of AlSi12 powder in a direct energy deposition (DED) process (one of the metal 3D printing technologies). In this study, deposition characteristics were investigated according to various process parameters such as laser power, powder feed rate, scan speed, and slicing layer thickness. In the single track deposition experiment, an irregular bead shape and balling or humping of molten metal were formed below a laser power of 1,000 W, and the good-shaped bead was obtained at 1.0 g/min powder feed rate. Similar results were observed in multi-layer deposition. Observation of deposited height after multi-layer deposition revealed that over-deposition occurred at all conditions. To prevent over-deposition, slicing layer thickness was experimentally determined at given conditions. From these results, this study presented practical conditions for good surface quality and accurate geometry of deposits.

A subregional slicing method (SSM) is proposed to increase the nanofabrication efficiency of a nano-stereolithography (NSL) process based on two-photon polymerization (TPP). The NSL process can be used to fabricate 3D microstructures via the accumulation of layers of uniform thickness; hence, the precision of the final 3D microstructure depends on the layer thickness. The use of a uniform layer thickness means that, to fabricate a precise microstructure, a large number of thin slices is inevitably required. leading to long processing times. In the SSM proposed here, however, the 3D microstructure is divided into several subregions on the basis of the geometric slope, and then each of these subregions is uniformly sliced with a layer thickness determined by the geometric slope characteristics of each subregion. Subregions with gentle slopes are sliced with thin layer thicknesses, whereas subregions with steep slopes are sliced with thick layer thicknesses. Here, we describe the procedure of the SSM based on TPP, and discuss the fabrication efficiency of the method through the fabrication of a 3D microstructure.

본 논문에서는 상하 레이어 폴리라인 병합(merging) 기반 가변(adaptive) 슬라이싱 기법을 제안한다. 먼저 출력 가능한 최소 두께 값을 사용하여 입력된 3D 폴리곤 모델을 균일(uniform) 슬라이싱하고 각 레이어 단면 영역의 경계에 대한 폴리라인(polyline)들을 생성한다. 다음으로 상하 연결성이 높은 폴리라인들을 그룹화한 후, 각 그룹 내에서 불필요한 폴리라인들을 삭제한다. 삭제할 레이어를 결정하기 위해 기하오차척도인 커스프 높이(cusp height)를 계산하고 이를 기반으로 적정 레이어 두께를 결정한다. 마지막으로레이어 두께 범위 내의 폴리라인들을 삭제함으로써 한 개 레이어로 병합된다. 제안 방법은 형상의 특징을 최대한 유지함과 동시에 출력 시간을 효과적으로 단축시킨다는 장점을 가진다. 성능 검증을위해 제안 기법과 전역적 가변 슬라이싱 기법을 사용하여 총 10개 3D 폴리곤 모델을 슬라이싱 한 후 출력 시간을 결정짓는 수치인 폴리라인의 총 길이를 측정하였다. 실험 결과, 모든 모델에 대해 제안한 기법의 폴리라인 총 길이가 더 짧았으며 이는 더 빠른 시간에 출력을 완료할 수 있다는 것을 의미한다.

The desktop-level 3D printing machines makes it easier for independent designers to produce collectible models. Desktop 3D printers that use FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) technology usually use a minimum nozzle diameter of 0.4mm. When using FDM printers to make Gunpla models, Thin slice structures are prone to slicing errors, which lead to deformation of printed objects and reduction in structural strength. This paper aims to analyze the printing model that produces errors, control a single variable among the three variables of slice layer height, slice wall thickness and filament type for comparative testing, and find a way to avoid gaps. To provide assistance for using FDM printers to build models containing thin-walled structures.

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.

Purpose : To evaluate the bone densities measured on copper-equivalent image of cross sectional view of mandibular edentulous premolar area obtained by multifuctional panoramic x-ray machine, PM 2002 CC with transversal slicing system. Materials and Methods: Panoramic cross sectional views with 8 mm focal layer of aluminum step and blocks, of hydroxyapatite (RA) step, 6 HA blocks and copper step wedge having 0.03 mm thickness of each step, and of 3 bone blocks cutted by 8 mm thickness mesiodistally and a dry mandible with copper step wedge were taken by using transversal slicing system in PM 2002 Cc. All reference-equivalent images were made and analyzed by NIH image program. Results: The average copper-equivalent value of cancellous bone of bone blocks on the panoramic cross sectional view was 0.026 ± 0.020 mm Cu. The calculated average bone density was 0.38g/cm². There was no significant difference (P>0.1) between the bone densities on intraoral digital view and on the panoramic digital cross sectional view. Conclusion: The copper-equivalent image of panoramic digital cross sectional view obtained by PM 2002 CC with very thin copper step wedge was supposed to be useful to measure the bone density of cancellous bone of mandible at the premolar edentulous area.

Most of Rapid Prototyping (RP) process adopt a solid Computer Aided Design (CAD) model, slicing into thin layers of uniform, but not necessarily constant, thickness in the building direction. Each cross-sectional layer is successive1y deposited and at the same time, bonded onto the previous layers; the stacked layers form a physical part of the model. The objective of this study is to develop a method for calculating the rotation angle ($$\theta$_x, $\theta$_y$) of hotwire of the cutting system in the three-dimensional space for the Variable Lamination Manufacturing process using expandable polystyrene foam sheet (VLM-S). In order to examine the applicability of the developed method to VLM-S, various three-dimensional shapes. such as a screw, an extruded cross, and free surface bodies such as miniatures of the monkey(a figure of Sonokong), were made using the data obtained form the method.

금속 3D 프린팅 기술은 레이저 빔의 초점에 금속분말을 주입하는 방식에 따라 대표적으로 PBF(Powder Bed Fusion)방식과 DED(Direct Energy Deposition)방식으로 나뉜다. DED 방식은 금속 분말 도포와 동시에 레이저를 조사하여 3차원 구조물을 제작하는 금속 3D 프린팅 기술이고, PBF 방식은 일정 높이로 3차원 그래픽을 슬라이싱 한 후 한 층씩 금속 분말을 적층하여 레이저를 이용해 3차원 구조물을 제조하는 방식이다. DED 방식을 사용하면 레이저 클래딩, 금속 용접 등에는 강점을 가지지만 3D 형상을 제작할 경우 밀도가 낮아지는 문제점이 발생한다. DED 방식에서의 구조체 밀도 문제를 해결하기 위해 PBF 방식을 도입하면 상대적으로 밀도가 높은 3차원 구조물을 제작하는데 용이하다. 본 논문에서는 갈바노 스캐너와 광섬유로 전송되는 Nd:YAG 레이저 빔을 이용한 약 $30{\mu}m$ 크기의 스테인리스 강 분말을 이용하는 PBF 방식의 3차원 프린터를 제작하고, 이를 이용하여 얇은 금속 구조물을 제작하였다. 또한 레이저의 조사 횟수, 출력, 초점 크기, 스캐닝 속도에 따른 선폭의 최적조건을 찾았으며, 그 결과 최적 조건은 레이저 조사 횟수 2회, 출력 30 W, 초점 크기 $28.7{\mu}m$, 스캐닝 속도 200 mm/s에서 최소 선폭은 약 $85.3{\mu}m$로 측정되었다.
