금속 3D 프린팅의 응용분야는 자동차, 우주항공, 의료/헬스, 전자기기, 금형 등으로 분류할 수 있다. 최근 들어 선진국을 중심으로 아크 용접기반 금속 3D 프린팅 기술의 연구개발이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 3D 프린팅 기술은 CAD 설계 정보를 이용한 적층 제조방식이기 때문에 내부 형상이 아무리 복잡하여도 제작이 가능하고, 디자인이 변경되더라도 별도의 금형 제작 없이 제작이 가능하다는 장점이 있다. 와이어 아크기반 금속 3D 프린팅 기술은 차세대 생산제조 핵심기술로 발전할 전망이다. 금속 3D 프린터의 기술경쟁력 제고를 위해서 적층패턴, 와이어정밀 송급 및 적층품질 실시간 모니터링 등의 시스템 제어 기술과 대형 금속부품의 고생산성을 위한 적층가공 시스템 기술개발이 진행될 것으로 예상된다. 금속 와이어 아크를 이용한 대형 3D 프린팅 시스템의 지식재산권 확보 전략을 수립하기 위해 대형 3D 프린터 기술, 금속 와이어 3D 프린터 기술, 아크 3D 프린터 기술의 세 가지 분야에 대한 특허동향 분석을 수행하였다.

As Additive Manufacturing (AM), so-called 3D printing technology, has become visualized, its potential for Mass-Customization, production costs and time savings has extended the scope of utilization to the architecture domain. Several cases that produced facilities, building elements and components using 3D printing technology have been announced mainly on the outside. There is also the development of foundation technologies including 3D printing-specific materials and equipment in Korea. As 3D printing technology in the architecture domain is currently in the early stages of adoption, realistic and systematic strategies are needed to advance it to the commercialization stages, considering the current circumstances of the industry. With this background, this study surveyed experts to investigate the status of the perception of 3D printing technology for adoption in domestic architecture industry. 3D printing technology is expected to be commercialized in areas of irregular-shape buildings and interior markets rather than general construction area. 3D printed products expected to be commercialized are limited to the level of building elements and the aesthetic factor is regarded as the most competitive factor. To enhance the possibility of the commercialization of 3D printed products, the 3D printing-specific construction method, related policies and systems are required along with the performance and stability of the materials and equipment.

The shoe last which is the framework for the shoemaking is intensively combined with the 3D data and technologies. International shoe companies have already commercialized 3D printing technology in producing the shoe, but domestic shoe companies are still in their early stages. This study used the 3D scanning, 3D modeling and 3D printing of the high-technology to make the shoe last. This 3D producing processes should be helpful in building competitiveness in domestic shoe industry. The 3D foot scanning data of men in 30s(n=200) were collected in SizeKorea(2010). The basic statistics, factor and cluster analysis were performed. They were categorized in 3 groups by 3D foot measurement data, and the standard models were selected in each group. The cross sections in XY, YZ and XZ planes sliced from 3D scan data of the standard model were used in the sketches of the 3D shoe last modeling. The 3D shoe last was modeled by Solidworks CAD and printed by MakerBot Replicator2; a desktop 3D printer. This research showed the potential for utilization of 3D printing technology in the domestic shoe industry. The 3D producing process; 3D scanning, 3D modeling and 3D printing is expected to utilized widely in the fashion industry within the nearest future.

Three Dimensional Printing (herein, 3D printing) not only gives novelty and interests to modern people but is also a spotlighted technology that could herald a new industrial revolution. The introduction of various 3D printing service platforms has enabled individuals to easily possess products designed through 3D printing. However, there are still many issues to consider until the era of new manufacturing, when 3D printing becomes available to the general public so that anyone can make and design products with 3D printing. For instance, there needs to be sufficient consideration and research on whether the current 3D printing services can prove their higher capability to produce products conventionally done by machines and hands through 3D printing, and on the meaning of selling a wide range of product families like those of most 3D printing service platforms to the consumers. This study, which was initiated in this context, aimed to gain insight on the directions that 3D printing services need to advance going forward by letting consumers have first-hand experience on 3D printing online service platforms with a wide range of product families and those with relatively limited services, and then asking them to answer multiple-choice and short-answer survey questions on the websites they wish to purchase from, diversity of designs, design satisfaction, perceived technical skills, perceived purchase satisfaction, perceived after-sales service(A/S). As a result, we were able to witness that consumers generally had a strong preference for services with a wide range of product families (e.g. Shapeways) compared to services with a narrow range (e.g. Digital Forming). We also verified that design diversity and the possibility of realizing the designs were the crucial aspects that need to be considered with 3D printing services. Moreover, we also carried out discussions on carrying out design consulting by securing a pool of designers from diverse fields, on providing web-based designing software that can be utilized even by beginners, and on operating shops both online and offline in order to provide more competitive 3D printing services.

Academia-industrial cooperation policy is essential to enhance national competitiveness in Korea. Although government and academia have invested in policies and supported industries, academia-industrial cooperation is not operated actively. This is one of the reasons why industrial demand for cooperation has continuously decreased. There are thoughts that universities' outcomes are larger than colleges' outcomes in academia-industrial cooperation, which could be a barrier to academia-industrial cooperation for colleges. It is important to understand industry demands in order to activate this type of cooperation. We propose a way to achieve this based on survey data for 3D printing and college graduates. Interactive cooperation among industries, colleges, and universities is suggested in the process of technical commercialization, such as TRL (Technology Readiness Level).

Recognizing the shortage of information about business models to generate profit despite the designers' recent interest in 3D printers as a new creative tool, this study set out to make sunglasses for young children, which lacked diversity in sizes according to age due to the small market scope under the old mass production system, by taking advantage of 3D printers' strength in the small batch production of customized products and propose a practical example to be expandable as a small-size business model. For these purposes, the investigator summarized the basic information about the 3D printing technology and the basic structure of sunglasses and made a size table to manufacture sunglasses for young children by analyzing the size table for vision correction. After this series of work, the study presented final product with the production costs and demonstrated that sunglasses for young children made with a 3D printer could be a practical case expandable as a competitive small-size business model in the market.
