Objectives: This study aimed to review the characteristics of three-dimensional printing technology focusing on printing types, materials, and health hazards. We discussed the methodologies for exposure assessment on hazardous substances emitted from 3D printing through article reviews. Methods: Previous researches on 3D printing technology and exposure assessment were collected through a literature review of public reports and research articles reported up to July 2018. We mainly focused on introducing the technologies, printing materials, hazardous emissions during 3D printing, and the methodologies for evaluation. Results: 3D printing technologies can be categorized by laminating type. Fused deposition modeling(FDM) is the most widely used, and most studies have conducted exposure assessment using this type. The printing materials involved were diverse, including plastic polymer, metal, resin, and more. In the FDM types, the most commonly used material was polymers, such as acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene(ABS) and polylactic acids(PLA). These materials are operated under high-temperature conditions, so high levels of ultrafine particles(mainly nanoparticle size) and chemical compounds such as organic compounds, aldehydes, and toxic gases were identified as being emitted during 3D printing. Conclusions: Personal desktop 3D printers are widely used and expected to be constantly distributed in the future. In particular, hazardous emissions, including nano sized particles and various thermal byproducts, can be released under operation at high temperatures, so it is important to identify the health effects by emissions from 3D printing. Furthermore, appropriate control strategies should be also considered for 3D printing technology.

3D printing technology has been used in various fields such as materials science, manufacturing, education, and medical field. A number of research are underway to improve the 3D printing technology. Recently, the use of 3D printing technology for fabricating an artificial tissue, organ and bone through the laminating of cell and biocompatible material has been introduced and this could make the conformity with the desired shape or pattern for producing human entire organs for transplantation. This special printing technique is known as "3D Bio-Printing", which has potential in biomedical application including patient-customized organ out-put. In this paper, we describe the current 3D bio-printing technology, and bio-materials used in it and present it's practical applications.

Inkjet printing is a typical printing technology with many advantages, such as material cost reduction, noncontact pattern formation without a mask, and process simplification. With the recent and rapid development of ink materials, parts and equipment, and process technologies related to inkjet printing, it is becoming a major process in various areas of the display industry. In particular, for the QD-OLED (quantum dot-organic light-emitting diode) display announced by Samsung Display in 2022, quantum dot pixel production by applying inkjet printing is a key technology. We analyze inkjet printing technology for mass production applied to the display industry and discuss the technology development trends in academia and industry toward the realization of next-generation displays.

This study, by analyzing previous studies, aimed to understand how 3D printing technology is applied and utilized in the fashion industry and to contribute to encouraging further studies on 3D printing technology in the fashion sector and suggesting proper ways for designing such studies. Firstly, 47 papers were selected from all literature concerning 3D printing technology published in 15 journals of fashion and design since 2013. Afterwards, these papers were analyzed with regard to the frequency, topics or sectors, and purposes or types of studies shown by outcomes. Results were as follows: First, the number of papers on 3D printing technology published in the journals was counted according to the year, which showed that this number increased rapidly after 2015 for about 3 years. Especially in the year 2016, this increase was quite notable. Although a little decrease in this number was found afterwards, a steady increase was highly expected. Out of the 8 journals, Journal of The Korean Society of Fashion Design had the maximum papers. Regarding areas of studies, works on designing and development of products were most common. Finally, regarding the purpose of studies, those suggesting or presenting apparel were predominant. Product items included clothes, shoes, and caps. Studies on caps mostly covered designing the products. Studies on clothes aimed at designing, characteristics of construction, and case study. However, there were very few works on 3D printing technology as an alternative material or composition of clothing.

Main parameters of the screen printing were determined and the printing parameters were optimized for 0402, 0603, and 1005 chips in this study. The solder pastes used in this study were Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu and Sn-0.7Cu. The process parameters were stencil thickness, squeegee angle, printing speed, stencil separating speed and gap between stencil and PCB. The printing pressure was fixed at 2 $kgf/cm^2$. From ANOVA results, the stencil thickness and the squeegee angle were determined to be main parameters for the printing efficiency. The printing efficiency was optimized with varying two main parameters, the stencil thickness and the squeegee angle. The printing efficiency increased as the squeegee angle was lowered under 45o for all chips. For the 0402 and the 0603 chips, the printing efficiency increased as the stencil thickness decreased. On the other hand, for the 1005 chip, the printing efficiency increased as the stencil thickness increased.

3D printing technology is a processing technology in which 3D structures are formed by fabricating multiple 2D layers of materials based on 3D designed digital data and stacking them layer by layer. Although layers are stacked using inkjet printing to release various materials, it is still rare for research to successfully form a product as an additive manufacture of multi-materials. In this study, dispersion conditions are optimized by adding a dispersant to an acrylic monomer suitable for inkjet printing using Co₃O₄ and Al₂O₃. 3D structures having continuous composition composed of a different ceramic material are manufactured by printing using two UV curable ceramic inks whose optimization is advanced. After the heat treatment, the produced structure is checked for the formation and color of the desired crystals by comparing the crystalline analysis according to the characteristics of each part of the structure with ceramic pigments made by solid phase synthesis method.
