최근에, 3 차원 인공지지체와 나노섬유는 골 조직 재생을 위해 개발되고 있다. 본 연구에서는, 나노-마이크로 정밀 분사 시스템을 이용하여 하이브리드 인공지지체를 제작하였다. 하이브리드 인공지지체는 마이크로 인공지지체와 나노섬유가 결합하여 제작되었으며, 마이크로 인공지지체와 나노섬유를 얻기 위해 자유 형상 제작 기술과 전기방사 기법이 사용되었다. 마이크로 인공지지체는 정밀한 공극을 고려하여 CAD/CAM 데이터 따라 자유 형상 제작 기술에 의해 제작되었으며, 제작 공정은 $100^{\circ}C$의 온도, 평균 650 kPa의 압력, 그리고 250 mm/sec의 Z 축 이송속도가 적용되었다. 그리고 전기방사법을 통하여 나노섬유를 제작함에 있어서 본 시스템에 적용한 공정 조건은, 5 kV의 전압, 0.1 ml/min의 유량, 그리고 1 mm의 노즐 팁과 콜렉터와의 거리로 설정하였다. 제작된 하이브리드 인공지지체는 MG-63 세포를 이용하여 세포 증식 실험을 진행하였다.

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.

Solution-based, direct-write patterning by an automated, computer-controlled, inkjet technique is of particular interest in a wide variety of industrial fields. We report the construction of three-dimensional (3D), micro-patterned structures by polymer inkjet printing. A piezoelectric, drop-on-demand (DOD) inkjet printing system and a common polymer, PVA (poly(vinyl alcohol)), were explored for 3D construction. After a systematic preliminary study with different solvent systems, a mixture of water and DMSO was chosen as an appropriate solvent for PVA inks. The use of water as a single solvent resulted in frequent PVA clogging when the nozzles were undisturbed. Among the tested polymer ink compositions, the PVA inks in a water/DMSO mixture (4/1 v/v) with concentrations of 3 to 5 g/dL proved to be appropriate for piezoelectric DOD inkjet printing because they were well within the proper viscosity and surface tension range. When a dot was printed, the so-called 'coffee-ring effect' was significant, but its appearance was not prominent in line printing. The optimal polymer inkjet printing process was repeated slice after slice up to 200 times, which produced a well-defined, 3 D micro-patterned surface. The overall results implied that piezoelectric DOD polymer inkjet printing could be a powerful, solid-freeform, fabrication technology to create a controlled 3D architecture.
