This study proposes a method to reduce errors in scanning object and registration using a laser scanner. The method consists of 3 stages. First, there is an error induced by the difference of the distance between the probe and the object. It is possible to reduce the error by planning a scanning strategy: object setting, scan path. Second, the scan data of the tooling ball affects calculating the tooling ball center. A z-direction compensation is given to calculate more accurate registration points. Third, three points are used to determine a coordinate transformation on each frame. The maximum error usually lies on the third tooling ball in the conventional merging method. LSM (Least Square Method) is applied to a coordinate transformation to reduce the registration error.

Finishing process includes deburring, polishing and edge radiusing. It improves the surface profile of specimen and eliminates the alien substance on surface. Deburring is the elimination process for debris of edges. Polishing lubricates surfaces by rubbing or chemical treatment. There are two types for electron finishing. The one is using pulse beam. The other is using the convergent and scanning electron beam. Pulse type device appropriates the large area process. But it does not control the beam dosage. Scanning type device has advantages for dosage control and edge deburring. We design the convergence and scan type. It has magnetic lenses for convergence and scan device for scanning beam. Magnetic lenses consist of convergent and objective lens. The lenses are designed by the specification(beam size and working distance). In this paper, we evaluate the convergence performance by pattern process. Also, we analysis the results and important factors for process. The important factors for process are beam size, pressure, stage speed and vacuum. These results will be utilized into systematizing pattern shape and the factors.

A laser scanner utilizing a computer-generated hologram(CGH) as beam deflector is reported. The CGH optical element has been used mainly for under-filled scanning. Here, a CGH optical element for overfilled scanning is proposed. It can achieve, under the same limitation of fabrication accuracy, better resolution and longer scan length than those for under-filled scanning. Measured scanning characteristics of the laser scanner show the scan length of 40 cm and the beam diameter of 100\ulcorner, where the designed minimum distance between the lines of CGH is 8\ulcorner.

An efficient 3D SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Map Building) method is developed for urban building environments using a tilted 2D LRF (Laser Range Finder), in which a 3D map is composed of perpendicular/horizontal planar polygons. While the mobile robot is moving, from the LRF scan distance data in each scan period, line segments on the scan plane are successively extracted. We propose an "expected line segment" concept for matching: to add each of these scan line segments to the most suitable line segment group for each perpendicular/horizontal planar polygon in the 3D map. After performing 2D localization to determine the pose of the mobile robot, we construct updated perpendicular/horizontal infinite planes and then determine their boundaries to obtain the perpendicular/horizontal planar polygons which constitute our 3D map. Finally, the proposed SLAM algorithm is validated via extensive simulations and experiments.

In this study, we investigate the characteristic of the poly-Si grain and morphology influenced by XeCl excimer laser system. The stable laser beam source is basic requested; the irradiation beam through optical lens module is more important which limit the grain size smaller than $0.5{\mu}m$. The homogenization lens designs control the poly-Si grain size; so we hardly get enlarge grain size by one laser irradiation scan.

This experiment implemented a laser projection system that used the 2D MEMS scanner as the driving method for the display device. The 2D MEMS scanner, which can scan the images horizontally and vertically, was applied to drive the projection system using the interlaced scanning method. The laser was directly modulated to implement the grayscale and the images were WVGA resolution quality.

Decapsulation of EMC(Epoxy Molding Compound) in package device is a method used to inspect inside of device by removing plastic molding. So far, chemical etching and mechanical grinding methods have been used widely. Recently, several works using laser have been carried out. This method has advantages with fast process time and precision than conventional methods because of noncontact process. Also, laser process is a clean process because of removing EMC directly without using toxic chemicals. The wavelength of laser used in this study is 355nm. Key parameters of removing EMC are laser power, scan speed, and number of scans of laser. It if confirmed that laser decapsulation is a useful process to inspect inside a device with a small thermal damage to chip surface.

A cold-work tool steel powder is used to fabricate 3-dimensional objects by selective laser melting using a high-pressure gas atomization process. The spherical powder particles form continuous carbide networks among the austenite matrix and its decomposition products. The carbides comprise Nb-rich MC and Mo-rich $M_2C$. In the SLM process, the process parameters such as the laser power (90 W), layer thickness ($25{\mu}m$), and hatch spacing ($80{\mu}m$) are kept fixed, while the scan speed is changed from 50 mm/s to 4000 mm/s. At a low scan speed of 50 mm/s, spherical cavities develop due to over melting, while they are substantially reduced on increasing the speed to 2000 mm/s. The carbide network spacing decreases with increasing speed. At an excessively high speed of 4000 mm/s, long and irregularly shaped cavities are developed due to incomplete melting. The influence of the scan pattern is examined, for which $1{\times}1 mm^2$ blocks constituting a processing layer are irradiated in a random sequence. This island-type pattern exhibits the same effect as that of a low scan speed. Post processing of an object using hot isostatic pressing leads to a great reduction in the porosity but causes coarsening of the microstructure.

Selective laser sintering is a kind of rapid prototyping process whereby a three-dimensional part is built layer wise by laser scanning the powder. This process is highly influenced by powder and laser parameters such as laser power, scan rate, fill spacing and layer thickness. Therefore a study on fabricating Fe-Ni-Cr powder by selective laser sintering has been performed. In this study, fabrication was performed by experimental facilities consisting of a 200W fiber laser which can be focused to 0.08mm and atmospheric chamber which can control atmospheric pressure with argon. With power increase or energy density decrease, line width was decreased and line surface quality was improved with energy density increase. Surface quality of quadrangle structure was improved with fill spacing optimization.

Direct laser melting (DLM) is a powder-based additive manufacturing process to produce parts by layer-by-layer laser melting. As the properties of the manufactured parts depend strongly on the deposited laser-melted bead, deposited layers obtained by the DLM process were characterized in this study. This investigation used a 200 W fiber laser to produce single-line beads under a variety of different energy distributions. In order to obtain a feasible range for the two main process parameters (i.e. laser power and scan rate), bead shapes of single track deposition were intensively investigated. The effects of the processing parameters, such as powder layer thickness and scan spacing, on geometries of the deposited layers have also been analyzed. As a result, minimum energy criteria that can achieve a complete melting have been suggested at the given powder layer thickness. The surface roughnesses of the deposited beads were strongly dependent on the overlap ratio of adjacent beads and on the energy distributions of laser power. Through microstructural analysis and hardness measurement, the morphological and mechanical properties of the deposited layers at various overlapped beads have also been characterized.
