The necessity of using rapid prototyping(RP) for short-run manufacturing is continuously driving a development of a cost-effective technique that will produce completely-finished quality parts in a very short time. To meet these demands, the improvements in production speed, accuracy, materials, aid cost are crucial. Thus, a new hybrid-RP system performing both deposition and machining in a station is proposed. For the new hybrid RP process to maintain the same degree of process automation as in currently available processes like SLA or FDNI, a sophisticated process planning system is developed. In the process planner, CAD models(STEP AP203) are partitioned into 3D manufacturable volumes called 'Ueposition feature segment"(DFS) after machining features called "machining feature segmenf'(MFS) are extracted from the initial CAD model. Once MFS and DFS are identified, the process planner arranges them into a chain of processes and automatically generates machining information for each DFS and MFS. The goal of this paper is to present a framework for a process planning system for hybrid RP processes and to outline the geometric algorithms involved in developing such an environment.

Rapid Prototyping(RP)이란 3차원 솔리드 모델을 단면화한 뒤 하나씩 적층하는 가공방식을 총칭한다. 이때 단면화하는 방법에 따라서 uniform, adaptive slicing으로 나뉘며, 입력 모델에 따라서 direct slicing과 STL을 이용한 방식으로 나뉜다. 적층 방법에 따라서는 연속된 2D 윤곽을 기반으로 적층하는 vertical layer 방식과 인접한 두 개의 2D 윤곽들을 연결하며 만들어진 3D layer를 기반으로 가공하는 sloping layer방식으로 나뉠 수 있다. 현재 상용 RP 시스템들에서는 거의 모든 경우 vertical layer 방식이 채택되어 사용되고 있다. RP와 절삭 공정, 예를 들면 CNC 밀링의 장점을 효율적으로 결합하기 위해서는 임의의 복잡한 형상을 갖는 솔리드 모델을 정밀도에 제한이 없이 제조할 수 있어야 한다. 그러나 절삭 공정은 특별한 전문적 지식들을 필요로 한다 또한 상용 RP에서 사용하는 순차적인 적층 작업으로는 가공할 수 없는 형상들이 많다. 대표적인 것으로 지지대를 필요로 하는 형상들이 있다. 이러한 형상들을 지원하기 위해서는 복잡한 3D 형상을 절삭 가능한 형식으로 분할하는 것과 적층 가능한 순서대로 공정 계획하는 것이 필요하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 SDM에서 제시된 3D 분할 방법이 솔리드 모델을 기반으로 전개되어 STL file과 같은 삼각다면체 형식으로 근사화된 모델에 적용하기 어렵다는데 착안하여 STL file에서 읽어들인 삼각 다면체 모델을 가공 가능한 3D 형상으로 분할하는 알고리즘을 제시하고자 한다.

Scaffold fabrication technology using a 3D printer was developed for damaged bone tissue regeneration. A scaffold for bone tissue regeneration application should be biocompatible, biodegradable, and have an adequate mechanical strength. Moreover, the scaffold should have pores of satisfactory quantity and interconnection. In this study, we used the polymer deposition system (PDS) based on fused deposition modeling (FDM) to fabricate a 3D scaffold. The materials used were polycaprolactone (PCL) and alginic acid sodium salt (sodium alginate, SA). The salt-leaching method was used to fabricate dual pores on the 3D scaffold. The 3D scaffold with dual pores was observed using SEM-EDS (scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive spectroscopy) and evaluated through in-vitro tests using MG63 cells.

Today, the use of composite materials become an essential part in the design and manufacturing process of the flight vehicles to reduce the structural weight. Since the structural properties can be varied largely due to the stacking sequence of ply angles, it is very important problem to determine the optimized ply angles under a design objective. Thus, in this study, the analysis of static aeroelastic optimization of a composite wing has been performed. An analytical system to calculate and optimize tile aero-structural equilibrium position has been developed and incorporated with the genetic algorithm. The effects of stacking sequence on the structural deformation and aerodynamic distribution have been studied and calculated with the condition of minimum structural deformation for a swept-back composite wing. For the set of practical stacking angles, the design results to maximize the performance of static aeroelasticity are also presented.

Recently, IoT technology has great attention and plays a key role in 4^th industrial revolution in order to design customized products and services. Additive Manufacturing (AM) is applied to fabricate IoT sensor directly or IoT sensor embedded structure. Also, design methods for AM are developing to consolidate various parts of IoT devices. Part consolidation leads to assembly time and cost reduction, reliability improvement, and lightweight. Therefore, a design method was proposed to guide designers to consolidate parts. The design method helps designers to define product architecture that consists of functions and function-part relations. The product architecture is converted to a network graph and then Girvan Newman algorithm is applied to cluster the graph network. Parts in clusters are candidates for part consolidation. To demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed design method, a case study was performed with e-bike fabricated by additive manufacturing.

The buckling behavior of a fiber reinforced plastic pipe was researched. When a cylindrical structure is made of isotropic material, it shows two dimensional buckled shape which has same deformed section along the longitudinal direction. But an anisotropic cylindrical structure shows three dimensional buckled shape which has different deformed section along the longitudinal direction. Because the modulus of elasticity is varied in a certain direction when ply angles are changed, the strength of a pipe are changed as ply angles are changed. In this study, the limitation of two dimensional and three dimensional buckling mode was investigated and the buckling strength of a laminated composite pipe was evaluated.

Wafer stacking technology becomes more important for the next generation IC technology. It requires new process development such as TSV, wafer bonding, and wafer thinning and also needs to resolve wafer warpage, power delivery, and thermo-mechanical reliability for high volume manufacturing. In this study, Cu CMP which is the key process for wafer bonding has been studied using Cu CMP and oxide CMP processes. Wafer samples were fabricated on 8" Si wafer using a damascene process. Cu dishing after Cu CMP and oxide CMP was $180{\AA}$ in average and the total height from wafer surface to bump surface was approximately $2000{\AA}$.

연구목적: 이 연구는 노동부의 보건진단 명령에 의해 유리섬유 강화플라스틱(FRP)을 이용한 이중벽 탱크 제조 사업장의 적층 공정 근로자들을 대상으로 스티렌 노출 특성을 평가하기 위해 수행되었다. 연구방법: 스티렌의 주요발생원 파악을 위해 불포화 폴리에스테르 수지(UPR), 경화제, 조색제, 세척액 등의 원료 내 스티렌 함유량을 가스크로마토그래피 질량분석기(GC-MS)를 이용하여 분석하였다. FRP 적층 공정에 근무하는 작업자들을 대상으로 NIOSH 1501 공정시험법에 의해 공기 중 스티렌 노출 농도에 대한 개인노출 평가를 실시하였고, 생물학적 노출 지표로 뇨 중 만델릭산을 채취한 후 고성능액체크로마토그래피(HPLC)로 분석하였다. 또한 각 직무 특성과 단위작업 중심으로 스티렌에 대한 단시간 노출평가를 수행하였다. 연구결과: 스티렌의 함유량이 가장 많은 주요 원료는 중량비율로37%의 스티렌이 함유된 UPR이었다. 적층 공정의 FRP분무 작업자와 보조 작업자들 모두 스티렌의 8시간 가중평균 노출기준(20 ppm)을 초과하였다. 단시간 노출평가 결과 FRP분무 작업자의 경우 45.9 ppm에서 86.1 ppm 수준으로 FRP를 사용하지 않는 작업보다 통계적으로 유의하게 높은 수준이었다(P<0.01). 가장 높은 수준의 스티렌에 노출되는 단위작업은 FRP를 이용하여 1차 코팅 하는 작업으로 특별한 관리가 필요하였다. 결론: 보건진단을 위해 실시한 이중벽 탱크 제조 사업장의FRP 적층 공정 작업자의 스티렌 노출수준은 노출기준을 초과할 정도로 높은 수준이었다. 그러나 탱크를 천장에 매달고 돌리면서 적층작업을 수행하기 때문에 적절한 국소환기 시스템을 구축하는데 어려움이 있다. 따라서 적절한 방독마스크 착용으로 스티렌 노출 예방이 필요하였다.
