Initial investigation of 3D free form fabrication Using Contour Crafting

적층조형설비(CC)을 이용한 3차원모형 제작에 대한 연구

Preliminary investigation of CC process indicates that the process is feasible and has significant potential in construction automation approach of large objects. The process aims at automated construction of whole houses as well as sub-components. The potential of CC became evident from the initial investigations and experiments with various materials and geometries. Using this process, a single house or a colony of houses, each with possibly a different design, may be automatically constructed in a single run as shown on

. Experiments with ceramics material show the versatility of the process relative to the use of a variety of fabrication materials. In addition to the use in rapid fabrication of large components, the process also has its niche in rapidly fabricating certain components for aerospace and automotive industries, where minimization of green machining is warranted.

CC 프로세스는 부가 구성물들뿐만이 아니라 전체구조물을 자동화로 만드는 것을 목적으로 한다, 이런 목적을 위하여, 새로운 Trowel 메카니즘이 3D 자유형상을 만들기 위해서 기본적으로 필요하다. 이 논문은 선회하는 Side towel을 사용하여 3D 자유곡면의 제작에 대한 기초적인 조사 및 개념을 보여준다. 특히, ceramics 재료를 이용하여 실험과 개발과정, 및 장래의 적용범위가 상세히 설명된다.
