Rapid Prototyping (RP) techniques have their unique characteristics according to the working principles: stair-stepped surface of parts due to layer-by-layer stacking, low build speed caused by line-by-line solidification to build one layer, and additional post processing to improve surface roughness, so it is required very high cost to introduce and to maintain RP apparatus. The objective of this study is to develop and design a new RP process, Variable Lamination Manufacturing using expandable polystyrene foam sheet as part material (VLM-S), which can make up for the disadvantage of existing techniques, and to develop an apparatus to implement the process. In order to examine the possibility of practical utilization of the proposed VLM-S process for prototyping of a general three-dimensional shape, an auto-shift lever knob and a pyramid shape were fabricated.

3차원 쾌속 조형법은 컴퓨터에 저장되어있는 객체 데이터를 이용하여 시제품을 제작하는 기술로써, 기존의 나무나 클레이, 혹은 주조 제작방식과는 달리 원하는 위치에 요구되는 재료를 직접 적층함으로써 원형제품을 제작함을 특징으로 한다. 스테레오리쏘그래피, 용융 점착법, 선택적 레이저 소결법, 판상 제작법 등의 다양한 3차원 쾌속 조형법이 개발되었으나, 그 중에서 잉크젯을 통한 3차원 쾌속 조형법은 잉크화된 조형재료를 통해 구조적으로 기능이 가능한 원형제품의 제작이 가능하다는 특징이 있다. 그러나, 기능성 원형제품의 제작을 위해서는 잉크의 고농도화가 요구되며, 이로 인해 잉크 점도가 상승되어 젯팅 신뢰성이 저하되는 문제점이 있었다. 본 논문에서는 3차원 쾌속 조형법을 위한 최적 젯팅조건을 도출하기 위해 슬러리 타입 세라믹 상변화 잉크의 음파 전달속도 측정과 음파 전달속도가 젯팅에 미치는 영향을 고찰하도록 한다.

Direct Metal Manufacturing (DMM) is a new additive process that aims to take die making and metalworking in an entirely new direction. It is the blending of five common technologies : lasers, computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), sensors and powder metallurgy. The resulting process creates parts by focusing an industrial laser beam onto a tool-steel work piece or platform to create a molten pool of metal. A small stream of powdered tool-steel metal is then injected into the melt pool to increase the size of the molten pool. By moving the laser beam back and forth, under CNC control, and tracing out a pattern determined by a computerized CAD design, the solid metal part is built line-by-line, one layer at a time. DMM produces improved material properties in less time and at a lower cast than is possible with traditional fabrication.

In all the Rapid Prototyping (RP) techniques, the computer-aided design (CAD) model of a three-dimensional part is sliced into horizontal layers of uniform, but not necessarily constant, thickness in the building direction. Each cross- sectional layer is successively deposited and, at the same time, bonded onto the previous layer. The stacked layers form a physical part of the model. The objective of this study is to develop a software for automatic generation of unit shape part(USP) for a new RP process, Variable Lamination Manufacturing using the linear hotwire cutting technique and expandable polystyrene foam sheet as part material(VLM-S). In order to examine the applicability of the developed software to VLM-S, USPs of general three-dimensional shapes, such as an auto-shift lever knob and a pyramid shape were generated.

A new rapid prototyping process, as a transfer type of Variable Lamination Manufacturing by using expandable polystyrene foam (VLM-ST), has been developed to reduce building time, apparatus cost including the introduction and the maintenance and additional post-processing. The objective of this study is to propose a VLM-ST process and to develop an apparatus for implementation of the process. Design criteria of the apparatus were defined and the techniques were proposed to satisfy the design criterion. In order to examine the efficiency and applicability of the developed process, various three-dimensional shapes, such as a world-cup logo, a knob shape and a character, Son-o-kong, were fabricated on the apparatus in which unit shape layer (USL) was generated to build up each layer.

Most companies use technologies such as stereolithography, selective laser sintering, and fused deposition modeling to make parts for such small consumer products as telephones, heads, and shoes. The largest part that the existing RP systems can make is only 600 mm in length. Because most RP systems build parts by depositing, solidifying, or sintering material point-by-point, making larger objects takes a long time. and in many cases, large objects won't fit the build size. A new effective thick-layered RP process. Transfer type Variable Lamination Manufacturing using expandable polystyrene foam (VLM-ST) has been developed with thick layers and sloped surfaces. In this paper, a scaledown model of F16 Fighter with the length of 800 mm is rapidly fabricated using the VLM-ST process. In order to build a CAD model of F16 larger than 600 mm in length, the approach in VLM-ST is to build larger parts in multiple sub-parts and then glue them together. The fabricated result shows that the VLM-ST process employing thick layers and sloped surfaces is adequate for creating the real-sized large objects in the diverse fields such as automobiles, electric home appliances, electronics. and etc.

최근 3차원 프린팅 기술은 비약적으로 발전하여 쾌속조형기술의 대명사가 되고 있다. FDM 방식의 3D프린터는 쾌속조형에 사용되는 가장 일반적인 프린터이지만, 열에 취약하고, 출력물의 표면이 매끄럽지 못하는 등의 문제를 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 FDM방식의 3D프린터로 ABS재질의 시편을 제작하였고, 아세톤에 시편을 담그는 방식으로 후처리를 수행하였다. 공정시간을 변수로 후처리를 진행하였으며, 처음 5초의 후처리 시간동안에는 시편의 표면조도가 급격하게 개선되는 결과를 획득하였으며, 5초 이후에는 표면조도의 변화정도가 미미하였다. 또한, 이러한 후처리 공정은 적지만 시편의 인장강도와 파단변형률을 상승시키는 결과를 나타내었다.
