최근 신체 생물학적 인터페이스와 인체 유사 로봇 공학(Human-like robotics) 분야에서 요구하는 임의적인 형상 제작이 가능하다는 이유로 3D 프린팅 기술에 대한 그 관심이 높아지고 있다. 본 연구의 주된 고려사항은 PDMS로 제작한 탄성 중합체로 지지되는 3D 패키징 생물학적 센서(bio-sensor)의 제작이다. 3D 프린팅 공정을 이용한 PDMS 성형 몰드의 제작은 신체의 표면에 따라 달라지는 임의적인 형상에 적합한 bio-sensor의 제작 뿐만 아니라 고형화 과정 중 균일한 두께분포의 PDMS 성형이 가능하다는 점에서 기존 공정과는 차별화된 중요성을 갖는다. 이와 관련하여 본 연구에서는 몰드를 이용한 PDMS의 제작 과정 중 이형과정 에서의 유연성과 PDMS의 고형화 과정에서 제작 공정의 특성을 만족시키기 위한 PDMS 성형 몰드의 설계에 있어 여러 소재의 부분 별 선택적 배열과 관련한 유한요소해석과 실제 몰드 제작을 통한 실험을 진행하였다.

사출성형에 CAE (Computer Aided Engineering)을 적용함으로써 사출 성형품 설계와 공정조절에 큰 도움이 된다. 또한 성형의 효율성을 최대화하고 개발기간의 단축, 그리고 고품질 제품을 확보하는데 도움이 크다. 특히 신제품 개발에 대한 설계방안을 제시하고 실패율을 감소시킬 수 있다. 현재 사출성형의 CAE는 2D는 물론 3D도 해석이 가능한데 이 두 가지 방식은 약간의 차이를 가짐에도 불구하고 해석 상 차이에 관한 비교 및 일반적인 가이드라인이 정해져 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 제품의 두께, 형상 그리고 유한요소 수에 따른 2차원 해석과 3차원 해석을 비교하였다. 그리고 실험을 통해 얻은 캐비티 내의 압력과 온도를 해석결과와 비교하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 사출성형의 2D해석과 3D해석에 대한 가이드라인을 제시하고자 하였다.

As the consumer market in the cosmetic, vehicle manufacturing and aerospace industries grows, the demand for manufacturing industries using on injection mold technology. Also, such manufacturing technology of metal machining is expensive, and the shape is limited. Cosmetic cushion fact products are divided into outer relevant to the exterior of the product and inner containers containing the actual contents. In the case of the inner container, it needs to be combined with the upper and lower cases. As environmental regulations are strengthened internationally, the use of a large number of component parts can result in significant losses in recycling and economics. Therefore, this study aims to perform injection molding analysis through injection molding simulation to develop a cushion fact container that can be recycled through the unification of products and materials using polypropylene to cope with environmental regulations. In the case of injection molding conditions, Injection Time(sec): 4.5, Cooling Time(sec): 13, Resin Temperature($^{\circ}C$): 240, and Pressure(MPa): 30 were determined. The results of injection molding simulation according to the two design methods were compared with the sync mark which shows the problem of filling and injection molding.

Injection molding is used in many industrial fields such as home appliances, vehicle parts, and electronic device parts because various resins can be molded, leading to mass production of complex shapes. Generally, the empirical prediction method is used to set the initial processing conditions of injection molding. However, this approach requires a lot of cost and its presented solution is not accurate. In this paper, injection molding was simulated through the Moldflow^TM in order to manufacture the spacer for gas insulated switch. Through the simulation, the flow of the resin with respect to the diameter of the inlet was analyzed. It was found that the process was possible at a higher resin temperature as the diameter of the inlet increased. In addition, through thermal analysis during injection of the resin, it was confirmed that a stagnation phenomenon occurred at the insert portion during injection molding, and the temperature of the resin was higher than that of the mold. As in this paper, if the spacer is manufactured by optimizing the injection hole and the temperature of the injection process based on simulation, it is expected that the spacer can be manufactured with high productivity.

복합재료 중에서 SMC(sheet molding compound) 복합재료는 자동차의 차체 성형에 주로 쓰이고 있다. 자동차 산업에서는 차량 사고를 고려하여야 하므로 재료의 충돌 거동 및 특성에 관한 연구는 필수적이다. 충돌은 짧은 시간에 일어나기 때문에 육안으로 확인이 어렵다. 따라서 충돌 거동을 확인하기 위해서는 유한요소 모델을 이용한 충돌 손상 해석이 필요하다. 충돌 손상 해석을 위해서는 SMC 복합재료의 손상 모델에 대한 파라메터가 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 SMC 복합재료의 손상 모델에 대한 파라메터를 획득하기 위해 인공신경망 기법을 적용하였다. LS-DYNA에서 파라메터에 따른 결과를 이용하여 대체 모델을 구성하였다. 자유 낙하 충돌 실험에서 얻은 흡수 에너지와 인공신경망 모델을 이용한 흡수 에너지를 비교하여 최적화된 파라메터를 획득하였다. 획득한 파라메터를 유한요소 모델에 적용해 결과를 비교하여 파라메터의 신뢰성을 검증하였다.

Warpage analysis of bobbin, molded by injection molding process was performed. Concerned with a mold design, cooling system was designed based on Taguchi method, the distance between cavity wall and cooling channel was most influent factor amongst four design variables like an inlet temperature of coolant, a coolant flow rate, a diameter of cooling channel, and the distance between cavity wall and cooling channel. Optimal packing processes to reduce the warpage of molded part was analyzed based on the response surface method by considering holding pressure. Their optimal processing conditions were 9.4 seconds, 5.3 seconds, 15.2 seconds, and 85MPa, respectively.

With recent trends leaning towards product miniaturization, the advent of new material and speedy delivery times, old style conventional trial-and-error methods have been only serving to weaken corporate competitiveness. Reliant on tiny increments of time-consuming experience, this antiquated approach begets a delayed delivery of product development, cost loss and quality depreciation. To solve such problems, the Dedicated Injection Molding CAPA (Computer Aided Plastics Application) performs a preliminary examination on problems rising from every stage of creation - from appropriate material selection and mold design to mass production - through a computer system. Thus, it determines the optimum design variables and process conditions while diagnosing and solving defective molds.

A vertebral cage is a hollow medical device which is used in spine forgery. By implanting the cage into the spine column, it is possible to restore disc and relieve pressure on the nerve roots. Most cages have been made of titanium alloys but they detract the biocompatibility. Currently PEEK (polyether ether ketone) if applied to various implants because it has good properties like heat resistance, chemical resistance, strength, and especially biocompatibility. A new shape of vertebral cage is designed and injection molding of PEEK is considered for production. Before injection molding of the cage, it is needed to evaluate process conditions and properties of the final product. Variables affecting the shrinkage of the cage are considered, e.g., injection time, packing pressure, mold temperature, and melt temperature. By using the numerical simula-tion program, MOLDFLOW, several cases are studied. Data files obtained by MOLDFLOW analysis are used for stress anal-ysis with ABAQUS, and shrinkage and residual stress fields are predicted. With these results, optimum process conditions are determined.

Computer Integrated Manufacturing(CIM) requires models of manufacturing processes to be implemented on the computer. These models are typically used for determining optimal process control parameters or designing adaptive control systems. In spite of the progress made in the mechanistic modeling, however, empirical models derived from experimental data play a maior role in manufacturing process modeling. This paper describes the development of a meural metwork medel for injection molding. This paper describes the development of a nueral network model for injection molding process. The model uses the CAE analysis data based on Taguchi method. The developed model is, then, compared with the traditional polynomial regression model to assess the applicabilit in practice.
