  • 3D printing technology is expected to be an innovative technology of the manufacturing industry during the 4th industrial revolution, and it is being used in various fields including biotechnology and medical field. In this study, we verified the printing materials through Monte Carlo simulation to evaluate the radiation shielding ability of the raw material using this 3D printing technology. In this paper, the printing materials were selected from the raw materials available in a general-purpose FDM-based 3D printer. Simulation of the ICRU phantom and the shielding system was carried out to evaluate the shielding effect by evaluating the particle fluence according to the type and energy of radiation. As a result, the shielding effect tended to decrease gradually with increasing energy in the case of photon beam, and the shielding effect of TPU, PLA, PVA, Nylon and ABS gradually decreased in order of materials. In the case of the neutron beam, the neutron intensity increases at a low thickness of 5 ~ 10 mm. However, the effective shielding effect is shown above a certain thickness. The shielding effect of printing material is gradually increased in the order of Nylon, PVA, ABS, PLA and TPU Respectively.

  • 3D printing technology has created a paradigm shift in industries by achieving breakthrough innovations and enabling the fabrication of complex products. However, 3D printed parts are inferior in terms of their strength and surface quality compared to parts fabricated by conventional manufacturing methods. This study aims to improve the surface roughness of stereolithographic parts by experimental analysis of the generated area error. A photocurable polymer material was used for fabrication, and the effect of important parameters, such as the material viscosity, printing speed, pneumatic pressure, UV intensity, and pattern spacing, on the surface roughness were analyzed. The results showed that a high-viscosity (12,000 cP) thixotropic material formed a constant pattern with an aspect ratio of 1:1, and the pattern shape was maintained after printing. A pattern with a minimum thickness of 145 ㎛ was formed at a printing speed of 70 mm/s and a pneumatic pressure of 20 kPa. These parameters were found to be suitable for low surface roughness. A UV laser at an intensity of 10 ~ 30 mW/cm2 was used to form a smooth surface at low curing intensities. Moreover, it was seen that with a pattern spacing of 110 ~ 130 ㎛, a stereolithographic part with a low surface roughness of Ra 1.29 ㎛ could be fabricated.

  • In this study, fused deposition modellig(FDM) 3D printing technology has been applied directly to polyester voil fabric to produce 3D printed lace/voil composite fabrics. A stereolithograpy(STL) file with a lace type 3D modelling under the various thickness were prepared and transformed into a g-code file using a g-code generator. The extrusion conditions for FDM 3D printing were controlled by 50mm/s of nozzle speed, $235^{\circ}C$ of nozzle temperature, $40^{\circ}C$ of heating bed temperature. 3D printed lace/voil composite fabriscs manufactured by 3D printing based on FDM using a thermoplactic polyurethane(TPU) filaments were obtained. To evaluate the mechanical properties and washability of the fabricated 3D printed lace/voil composite fabric, KES-FB system test, washing fastness test and dry cleaning resistance test were conducted. As 3D printing thickness increased, KOSHI, NUMERI, and FUKURAMI of 3D printed lace/voil composite fabric increased. From the results of the primary hand value test, 3D printed lace/voil composite fabrics were confirmed to be applicable to women's summer garments. As a result of the washability and dry cleaning resistance test of the 3D printed lace/voil composite fabrics, all samples were graded 4-5.

  • In this paper, the development history of random packings for several generations was briefly introduced. We demonstrate the application of 3D printing to the fabrication of Pall rings, directly using computer aided design (CAD) models. The CAD was used to design Pall rings with different number of blades. The models were then printed by using UV curing of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) resins. The results show that 3D printing is a promising method for producing precisely controlled packing materials. It is also expected that 3D printing is helpful for the fundamental studies of highly efficient packing materials with complex geometrical shapes.

  • 3D printing is a technology that can transform and process computerized data obtained through modeling or 3D scanning via CAD. In the medical field, studies on customized 3D printing technology for clinical use or patients and diseases continue. The importance of research on filaments and molding methods is increasing, but research on manufacturing methods and available raw materials is not being actively conducted. In this study, we compare the characteristics of each material according to the manufacturing method of the phantom manufactured with 3D printing technology and evaluate its usefulness. We manufactured phantoms of the same size using poly methyl meta acrylate (PMMA), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), and Poly Lactic Acid (PLA) based on the international standard phantom of aluminum step wedge. We used SITEC's radiation generator (DigiRAD-FPC R-1000-150) and compared the shielding rate and line attenuation coefficient through the average after shooting 10 times. As a result, in the case of the measured dose transmitted through each phantom, it was confirmed that the appearance of the dose measured for phantoms decreased linearly as the thickness increased under each condition. The sensitivity also decreased as the steps increased for each phantom and confirmed that it was different depending on the thickness and material. Through this study, we confirmed that 3D printing technology can be usefully used for phantom production in the medical field. If further development of printing technology and studies on various materials are conducted, it is believed that they will contribute to the development of the medical research environment.

  • The latest innovation in the field of fashion comes in the form of 3D-printed clothing. This study explores the composition and characteristics of the shapes in the architecture of Zaha Hadid, a representative architectural designer who expresses space in three dimensions. Hadid applies his aesthetic to fashion design using these distinctive geometric shapes to create design motifs as well as develop new clothing material with 3D printing technology. The research was conducted as follows. First, the lines and arrangement of the geometric shapes in Zaha Hadid's architecture were analyzed so that his design principles could be used as a theoretical basis for this study. The study also reviewed geometric fashion designs using 3D printing technology over the last ten years. Second, we developed triangular modules with rods and tongs that could be fashioned into clothing using fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printers. Lastly, the 3D printing fashion design was developed to explore new silhouettes, textures, and a novel way of producing clothing. This study hopes to serve as a stepping-stone for further research on innovations that combine fashion with technology.

  • Recently, as the public interests about the 3D printing technology are increased, various kinds of 3D printers are being released. But, they are limited to use because they cannot fabricate an object which is larger than the printer's printing volume. To relieve this problem, we propose an interactive 3D mesh editing system for 3D printing the object that is larger than the printing volume. The proposed 3D editing system divides the input 3D mesh using the user's line drawings defining cutting planes and it attaches various connectors. The output meshes are guaranteed to fabricate without post-processing. The printed parts can be assembled using the connectors. Our proposed system has an advantage that it can be used easily by non-professional 3D printer users.
