The very big springback of advanced high strength steel(AHSS) sheets invokes undesired shape defects, which can be generally eliminated by die correction or process parameter control. The springback reduction by controlling the forming process parameters is easy for the application, but limited for the bulky achievement. In this study, the effective die correction method, which obtains the modification of tool shape from the relationship between die design variable and springback, is introduced and is applied to the TWB tool of automotive side rail to show the validity and usefulness. Among the die correction trials repeatedly performed, the first trial is carried out by correcting the tool shape to the opposite direction to the springbacks of several tool sections. Next trials are done by extrapolating the springbacks of among the original tool uncorrected and the tools corrected negative amounts of the springback and by finding tool shapes without springbacks. After the angle of side wall and radius of curvature of horizontal bottom floor are chosen as design variables in the tool design of side rail, the tool shape is corrected 3 times. The accuracy of final shape within the assembly limit of 1mm and the springback reduction of 75.8% compared to the uncorrected tool are achieved.

The main purpose of this study strongly concerned micro machining error estimation by using FEM analysis of tool deflection shapes in micro flat end-milling process. For the precision micro flat end-milling process, analysis of micro cutting errors is mandatory. In general, tool deflection is a major factor which causes cutting error and limits realization of the high-precision cutting process. Especially, in micro end-milling process, micro tool deflection generates very serious problems in contrast to macro tool deflection. Methods which deal with compensation of cutting error by tool deflection in macro end-milling process have been studied plentifully but, few researches transact with micro scaled cutting tool deflection in micro cutting process. Therefore, the trend of micro tool deflection was estimated by using FEM analysis in this paper. Cutting forces were acquired by micro dynamometer and these were utilized in FEM analysis. In order to verify FEM analysis results, micro machining processes were carried out and real machined profiles were compared with FEM results. Finally through the proposed approach well suited FEM results were obtained.

A study was carried out to fabricate the cutting tool geometry with micro/nanoscale on the single crystal diamond tool by using the FIB. The FIB technique is an ideal tool for TEM sample preparation that allows for the fabrication of electron-transparent foils. The FIB is appropriate techniques to sample and subsequently define the chemical composition and the structural state of mineral inclusion on the micro/nanoscale. The combination of FIB with a SEM allows for 3D information to be obtained from samples including 3D imaging. Cutting strategies were demonstrated to improve the performance of cutting tool geometry and to generate high aspect ratio micro cutting tool. A finely focused beam of 30keV Ga+ ions was used to mill cutting tool shapes for various micro patterns. Therefore FIB sputtering is used to shape a variety of cutting tools with dimensions in the $1-5{\mu}m$ range and cutting edge radii of curvature of under 50nm.

Ball end mills used for high-speed and high-precision machining require longer machining time than flat end mills or face cutters, since the tool diameter is limited and the rigidity is reduced by the characteristics of the tool's cutting edge: at the top end of the tool, the cutting speed approaches zero and hardly removes any material. Because there is little material removal at the top end of the ball end mill, the outer cutting edge performs the majority of the work; this irregular cutting force deforms the tool and shortens its life. In this study, we attached an eddy-current sensor to a tool to measure the deformation from the cutting force and we used a tool dynamometer to measure the cutting force. We found that the change in cutting force is dependent on the change in feed rate during square-shaped processing and, as the feed rate is accelerated, the cutting force also increases. Higher cutting forces increase tool deformation.

Presented in this paper is a new fast and robust algorithm generating NC tool path for 2D pockets with islands. The input shapes are composed of line segments and cricular arcs. The algorithm has two steps: creation of successive offset loops and linking the loops to tool path. A modified pair-wise technique is developed in order to speed up and stabilize the offset process, and the linking algorithm is focused on minimizing tool retractions and preventing thin-wall rotting The proposed algorithm has been implemented In C++ and some illustrative examples are presented to show the practical strength of the algorithm.

Modern people communicate in a digital space without being limited by physical space and time. On the internet, people's desire for self-expression is getting bigger, and the most common self-expression tool is characters. Characters are visual materials to express human thoughts and desires. This study is a method to positively express the viewer's self in an interactive Hangeul system. The proposed system produces new formative shapes and meanings of Hangeul through the process of deconstructing and reconstructing the characters. Immediate character transformations that are synchronized with the motion of the viewer act as a tool of self-expression by inducing the viewer's active interaction repeatedly. Therefore, the proposed interactive Hangeul is more than enough to be used as a new graphic tool beyond the text to be read, and it is highly likely to develop into cultural contents using it.

In general, a lot of small electrode is needed for making precision injection molds, such as cell phone mold and precision connector mold, because of the limitations of NC milling process. Those small electrodes usually have very simple shapes and the actual cutting time is so short, but many NC programs and set-up process, a very complicated and time consuming Job, are needed for each electrode. This paper deals the method for increasing the productivity of machining electrodes. In this work, the process standardization of machining electrode was done and special jig fer machining small electrodes was developed. Automatic tool path optimization software was also developed to minimize tool changing time. In addition, in-line cutting tool measuring system was adopted. The productivity of machining for small electrode has been increased up to $100\%$.

Carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRPs) are extremely strong and light fiber-reinforced plastics containing carbon fibers. CFRPs can be expensive to produce, but are commonly used wherever high strength-to-weight ratio and rigidity are required, such as in the aerospace, automotive, and ship superstructure industries. In CFRP drilling, the tool performance greatly varies depending on the tool shapes, cutting conditions, and diamond coating. This study developed a new type of tungsten carbide drill with multi-blade edges to evaluate the surface quality of CFRP materials according to the coating thickness of diamond-coated drills. Experiments on tool wear, surface roughness, and burr formation were conducted. The bore exit quality of a 12 mμ -coated drill was better than that of a 6 mμ -coated drill. The superior effects of the 12 mμ -coated drill and the good surface quality of CFRP were also demonstrated.

Modal testing and analysis is a primary tool for obtaining reliable models to represent the dynamics of structures. When a structure is tested in order to collect measured data in modal testing, we usually use attached accelerometers to pick up the response data. Change in modal parameters due to the mass of transducers in modal testing is a well-known problem. The disadvantages are the shift of measured modal frequencies and the change of modal shapes, which can cause inaccurate results in further analysis. Modal analysis methods in frequency domain are based on a set of measured frequency response functions(FRF).(omitted)
