Recent 3D printing technology has been grafting onto various medical practices. In light of this trend, this research is intended to examine the figuration surface's accuracy of 3D images made by using DICOM images after printing by 3D printing. The medical images were obtained from animal bone objects, while the objects were printed after undergoing STL file conversion for 3D printing purposes. Ultimately, after the 3D figuration, which was obtained by the original animal bones and 3D printing, was scanned by 3D scanner, 3D modeling was merged each other and the differences were compared. The result analysis was conducted by visual figuration comparison, color comparison of modeling's scale value, and numerical figuration comparison. The shape surface was not visually distinguished; the numerical figuration comparison was made from the values measured from the four different points on the X, Y and Z coordinates. The shape surface of the merged modeling was smaller than the original object (the animal bone) by average of -0.49 mm in the 3D printed figuration. However, not all of the shape surface was uniformly reduced in size and the differences was within range of -0.83 mm on the experiment.

This paper aims to investigate 4D printing materials for soft robots. 4D printing is a targeted evolution of the 3D printed structure in shape, property, and functionality. It is capable of self-assembly, multi-functionality, and self-repair. In addition, it is time-dependent, printer-independent, and predictable. The shape-shifting behaviors considered in 4D printing include folding, bending, twisting, linear or nonlinear expansion/contraction, surface curling, and generating surface topographical features. The shapes can shift from 1D to 1D, 1D to 2D, 2D to 2D, 1D to 3D, 2D to 3D, and 3D to 3D. In the 4D printing auxetic structure, the kinetiX is a cellular-based material design composed of rigid plates and elastic hinges. In pneumatic auxetics based on the kirigami structure, an inverse optimization method for designing and fabricating morphs three-dimensional shapes out of patterns laid out flat. When 4D printing material is molded into a deformable 3D structure, it can be applied to the exoskeleton material of soft robots such as upper and lower limbs, fingers, hands, toes, and feet. Research on 4D printing materials for soft robots is essential in developing smart clothing for healthcare in the textile and fashion industry.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the radiolucency for the phantom output to the 3D printing technology. The 3D printing technology was applied for FDM (fused deposition modeling) method and was used the material of ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) resin. The phantom was designed in cylindrical uniformity. An image uniformity was measured by a cross-sectional images of the 3D printed phantom obtained from the CT equipment. The evaluation of radiolucency was measured exposure dose by the inserted ion-chamber from the 3D printed phantom. As a results, the average of uniformity in the cross-sectional CT image was 2.70 HU and the correlation of radiolucency between PMMA CT phantom and 3D printed ABS phantom is found to have a high correlation to 0.976. In the future, this results will be expected to be used as the basis for the phantom production of the radiation quality control by used 3D printing technology.

In this study, human mimic phantoms outputted by three-dimensional (3D) printing technology are reported. Polylactic acid and a personal 3D printer - fused deposition modeling (FDM) - are used as the main material and the printing device. The output of human mimic phantoms performed in the following order: modeling, slicing and G-code conversion, output variable setting, 3D output, and post-processing. The students' learning satisfaction (anatomical awareness, study interest) was measured on 5-point Likert scale. After that, Twenty of those phantoms were outputted. The total output took 11,691 minutes (194 hours 85 minutes) and the average output took 584.55 minutes (9 hours 7 minutes). The filament used for the experiment was 2,390.2 g, and the average use of the filament was 119.51 g. The learning satisfaction of anatomical awareness was 4.6 points on the average and the interest of the class was on average 4.5 points. It is expecting that 3D printing technology can enhance the learning effect of imaging anatomy education.

프린팅 기법은 크게 젯팅(Jetting) 기법과 코팅(Coating) 기법으로 나눌 수 있는데, 이중 젯팅 기법은 액체 상태의 재료를 노즐을 통하여 분사하는 기법을 말하며, 그 방식으로는 전하제어형, 확산형, 자성 잉크형 등의 연속 방식, 피에조형, 전기열 변환형, 방전형, 고체잉크형, 정전흡입형 등의 DOD 방식, 잉크 미스트형, 스프레이형 등의 기타 방식으로 나누어 볼 수 있다. 젯팅 공정을 이용하여 폴리머 계열을 2차원 흑은 3차원 형상으로 제작하는 것은, 기존의 잉크젯 분사시스템을 수정 보완하는 것으로도 기술적으로 가능하다.(중략)

The purpose of this study was to evaluate marginal gap of 3 unit fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) fabricated by 3-dimensional (3D) printing technology and to compare marginal gap of its by a conventional method (lost wax technique and casting method). Ten study models were manufactured. Three unit FDPs were fabricated by 3D printing technique (3D group) and conventional methods (CV group). Marginal gaps were measured by silicone replica technique and digital microscope (${\times}160$). Mann-Whitney test was executed (${\alpha}=0.05$). The mean${\pm}$standard deviation of marginal gap for premolars and molars were $112.5{\pm}8.6{\mu}m$ and $110.2{\pm}7.0{\mu}m$ in the 3D group and $83.2{\pm}4.4{\mu}m$ and $82.2{\pm}4.6{\mu}m$ in the CV group. There were statistically significant differences (p<0.05). As results, clinical application further improvement of 3D printing technique may be required.

3D 프린팅은 디지털 디자인 데이터로 3차원의 물체를 만들어내는 기술로, 공장 없이도 제품을 만들 수 있는 미래 기술로 불린다. 프린터에 넣는 재료가 다양해지고 실제 이용할 수 있는 범위가 넓어지면서 미래 고부가가치 산업으로도 꼽힌다. 미국 컨설팅기관 홀러스 어소시에이츠(Wohlers Associates)는 세계 3D 프린터 시장이 연평균 29%씩 성장할 것이며 2015년 37억 달러에서 2019년이 되면 65억 달러를 넘어설 것으로 내다봤다. 미국, 중국, 일본 등은 이미 정부와 민간 차원에서 산업활성화 노력이 활발하다. 3D 프린팅 기술의 국산화에 성공하고 세계 시장에 도전하고 있는 중소기업이 있어 화제다. 한국 최초로 산업용 3D 프린팅 기술을 개발한 캐리마가 바로 그 주인공이다. 이 회사는 국내 유일 광조형 3D 프린터 원천기술을 바탕으로 제품을 개발해 최근 양산 체제를 갖추었다. '가진 것이라곤 장래가 불투명한 기술밖에 없는 중소 기업'에서 '국내 유일의 3D 프린터 제조업체'로 불리게된 캐리마를 찾아가 이병극 대표의 이야기를 들어봤다.

The purpose of three-dimensional (3-D) metal printing using 5-axis is to deposit metal powder by changing the orientation of the deposited structure to be built for the overhang or undercut feature on part geometry. This requires a complicated preprocess functionality of providing three dimensionally sliced layers to cover the required part geometry. This study addresses the overhang/undercut problem in 3-D metal printing and discusses a possible solution of providing 3-D layers to be built using the DMT(R) machine.

In recent years, 3D printing has received increasing attention due to its potential for direct fabrication beyond the traditional rapid prototyping. 3D printing has the advantage of being able to manufacture complicated shapes that were thought impossible to produce by traditional manufacturing processes. This advantage has driven applications of 3D printing to direct manufacturing of functional parts, such as lightweight structures and component integration. In this study, a porous shell structure is designed for the purpose of weight reduction and ventilation. Finite element (FE) analyses are performed to compare the effective stiffness of the porous structure with the conventional solid structure. Structural reinforcements are also considered in order to make up the stiffness reduction due to the porosity, and the relevant FE analyses are performed to investigate the effect of the reinforcement design on the bending stiffness. The optimized reinforced structure is then proposed through response surface analysis.
