SFFS(Solid Freeform Fabrication System) can quickly makes models and prototype parts from 3D computer-aided design (CAD) data. Three dimensional printing(3DP) is a kind of the solid freeform fabrication. The 3DP process slices the modeling data into the 50-200um along to z axis. And we pile the powder and make the manufactures. A manufacture is made by the SFFS has the precision of the 50um. Therefore the x-y table of SFFS to move a printhead must be the system that has a high speed and accuracy. So we proposed the SMCSPO algorithm for SFFS. The major contribution is the design of a robust observer for estimating the state and the perturbation of the timing belt system, which is combined with a robust controller. The control performance of the proposed algorithm is compared with PD control by the simulation and the experiment. The control algorithm of the SFFS is presented in the office environment. The system between control system and printhead for the SFFS is also integrated

Several Solid Freeform Fabrication Systems(SFFS) are commercialized in a few companies for rapid prototyping. However, they have many technical problems including the limitation of applicable materials. A new method of speedy prototyping is required for the recent manufacturing environments of multi-item and small quantity production. The objectives of this paper include the development of a novel method of SFFS, the ${CAFL}^{VM}$(Computer Aided Fabrication of Lamination for Various Material), and the manufacture of the various material samples for the certification of the proposed system and the creation of new application areas. For these objectives, the technologies for a highly accurate robot path control, the optimization of support structure, CAD modeling, adaptive slicing was implemented. In this paper, we design an algorithm that the cutting path of a laser beam which is controlled with constant speed. The laser beam is tangentially controlled in order to solve the inaccuracy of a 3D model surface. The designed algorithm for constant-speed path control and tangent-cutting control is implemented and experimented in the ${CAFL}^{VM}$ system.

본 연구에서는 다양한 재료의 시트(Sheet)를 각각 절단하여 적층하는 방법으로 기존 적층조형법과는 다른 쾌속 임의형상제작 시스템인 CAFL/sup VM/(Computer Aided Fabrication of Lamination for Various Material)을 제안한다. 이러한 조형 방법은 가공 속도를 빠르게 하며 복잡한 후처리 과정을윽 대폭 줄일 수 있고, 여러 가지 재료가 사용 가능한 장점을 지니고 있다. 이러한 목적으로 개발된 2자유도의 X-Y테이블 형태의 CAFL/sup VM/은 레이저빔으로 시트(Sheet)를 절단, 적층하여 조형물을 완성하는 새로운 고속적층 시스템으로 가능성을 검증하였다. 하지만 2자유도 시스템은 X-Y 평면을 이동하는 작업공간에 수직으로 레이저 가공이 이루어지는 방법으로, 조형된 사물의 표면에 계단 형상이 나타나는 표면정밀도상의 문제점을 드러낸다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하고자 2자유도에 3자유도를 추가한 5자유도 시스템을 제안하여 레이저의 경사절단이 가능하게 함으로서 조형된 사물의 표면 정밀도를 높이고, 일정한 패턴의 모양을 갖는 조형물 가공의 경우 여러 시트(Sheet)가 적층되는 부분을 한번에 가공할 수 있도록 하여 보다 빠르고 정밀한 5자유도 매니퓰레이터 CAFL/sup VM/ 시스템을 설계한다. 즉, 정속경로제어와 경사각절단제어를 구현하고 그 외에 수반된 자동화 CAFL/sup VM/ 시스템을 구현하는 것이 본 논문의 목적이다.

Selective Laser Sintering(SLS) method is one of Rapid Prototyping(RP) technologies. It has been used to fabricate desirable part to sinter powder and stack the fabricated layer. Since the sintering process occurs using infrared laser having high thermal energy, shrinkage and curling of the fabricated part occurs according to thermal distribution. Therefore, the fast scanning path generation is necessary to eliminate the factors of quality deterioration. In case of fabricating larger size parts, the unique scanning device and scanning path generation should be considered. In this paper, the development of SLS machines being capable of large size fabrication(800${\times}$1000${\times}$800 mm, W${\times}$D${\times}$H) will be addressed. The dual laser system and the unique scanning device have been designed and built, which employ CO2 lasers and dynamic 3-axis scanners. The developed system allows scanning a larger planar surface with the desired laser spot size. Also, to generate the fast scanning paths, adaptive path generation is needed with respect to the shape of each layer, and not simply x, y scanning, but the scanning of arbitrary direction should be enabled. To evaluate the suggested method, the complex part will be used for the experiment fabrication.

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is a useful rapid prototyping technique for the manufacture of three dimensional (3D) solid objects directly from a scanning data. A new approach called a Selective Multi-Laser Sintering (SMLS) system has been developed at Korea Institute Machinery & Materials (KIMM) as an industrial type SFFS. This SMLS machine is built with a frame, heaters, nitrogen supply part, laser system. This system uses the dual laser and 3D scanner made in $Solutionix^{TM}$ to improve the precision and speed for large objects. The three-dimensional solid objects are made of polyamide powder. The investigation on each part of SMLS system is performed to determine the proper theirs design and the effect of experimental parameters on making the 3D objects. The temperature of the system has a great influence on sintering the polymer. Because the stability of the powder temperature prevents the deformation of each layer, the controls of the temperature in both the system and the powders are very important during the process. Therefore, we simulated the temperature distribution of build room using the temperature analysis with ANSYS program. Selected radiant heater is used to raise temperature of powder to melting point temperature. The laser parameters such as scan spacing, scan speed, laser power and laser delay time affect the production the 3D objects too. The combination of the slow scan speed and the high laser power shows the good results without the layer curling. The work is under way to evaluate the effect of experimental parameters on process and to produce the various objects. We are going to experiment continuously to improve the size accuracy and surface roughness.
