Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analysis the internal fitness of single crown fabricated by additive method technique. Methods: Study models were fabricated. Ten crowns were manufactured by additive method technique (AM group) and another ten crowns using conventional method were manufactured (CM group). The internal fitness of specimens were measured using silicone replica technique. Silicone replicas were sectioned one times (direction: from mesial to distal). The internal fitness were evaluated using by digital microscope. Statistical analyses were performed with independent samples t-test. (${\alpha}=0.05$). Results: Mean(SD) of all internal fitness were $92.1(20.0){\mu}m$ for AM group and $69.7(12.3){\mu}m$ for CM group. Two groups were statistically significant differences (p<0.001). Conclusion: All internal gaps of AM group were ranged within the clinical recommendation ($120{\ss}{\neq}$).

The additive manufacturing technology, also called 3D printing, is growing fast. There are several methods for 3D printing. Fused deposition modeling (FDM) type 3D printing is the most popular method because it is simple and inexpensive. Moreover, it can be used for printing various thermoplastic materials. However, it contains the cooling of layered road and causes thermal shrinkage. Thermal shrinkage should be controlled to obtain high-quality products. In this study, temperature distribution and cooling behavior of a layered road with cooling are studied through computer simulation. The thermal shrinkage of the layered road was simulated using the calculated temperature distribution with time. Shape variation of the layered road was predicted as cooling proceeded. Stress between the bed and the layered road was also predicted.This stress was considered as the detaching stress of the layered road from the bed. The simulations were performed for various thermal conductivities and temperatures of the layered road, bed temperature, and chamber temperature of a 3D printer. The simulation results provide detailed information about the layered road for FDM type 3D printing under operational conditions.

Additive manufacturing is a state-of-the-art manufacturing process technology in which three-dimensional structures are fabricated by laminating two-dimensional sections of a structure using various materials such as plastic, ceramics, and metals. The additive manufacturing technology has the advantage of high design freedom, while the surface property (roughness) of the finished product varies depending on the process conditions, which necessitates performing a post-process after the products are manufactured. In this study, the surface roughness of a structure made of polyamide 12, which was manufactured by SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) and MJF (Multi Jet Fusion) process was compared. The processing condition was classified by the building orientation of structure as 0, 45, and 90 degrees, which is the angle between the analytical surface and the horizontal plane of the fabrication platform. Structures with a hole of various diameters ranging from 1mm to 10mm were manufactured and the hole characteristics (ratio of hole depth to diameter) and results of the specimens were compared. As a result of the surface characteristics analysis, the surface roughness value of the specimens manufactured with a building orientation of $45^{\circ}$ was the highest in both technologies. In the case of the through-hole structure fabrication, the shape was maintained with 5mm and 10mm diameter holes regardless of the building orientation, although the hole forming was difficult for the smaller holes.

With the high design freedom of the additive manufacturing process, there is a growing interest in multi-dimensional lattice structures among researchers, who are studying intricate structural modeling that is challenging to produce using conventional manufacturing processes. In the case of titanium alloy implants for human insertion, a multi-dimensional lattice structure is employed to ensure compatibility with bones, adjusting strength and elastic modulus to levels similar to those of bones. Therefore, securing a database on the mechanical properties based on lattice structure design variables and the development of related simulation techniques are believed to efficiently facilitate the customization of implants. In this study, lattice structures were additively manufactured using Ti-6Al-4V alloy, and the elastic modulus was measured based on design parameters. The results were compared with simulations, and an approach to finite element analysis for accurate prediction of the elastic modulus was proposed.

Metal additive manufacturing (AM) has revolutionized several manufacturing industries. AM can generate large-scale metal components and produce complex geometries close to net-shapes. WAAM is an AM technology that has garnered considerable interest among industries owing to its economics and relatively high deposition rates. However, the heat accumulation in the weld bead during deposition triggers distortion and residual stress. To address these problems, various methods of interpass pressure rolling systems have been suggested in recent research. In addition, combining the rolling and WAAM processes can mitigate residual stresses. The constant-pressure rolling of the interlayer also affect the microstructure. The coarse microstructure of the as-deposited sample was altered to finer equiaxed grains via these methods. However, the bead-shape accuracy of the interlayer constant-pressure method does not consider the heat accumulation in each layer. Therefore, this study develops an interpass variable pressure rolling system that considers the heat accumulation of each layer. The interpass variable pressure rolling system comprises deposition, detection, pressure, and transport units. Finally, verification tests are performed on the interpass variable-pressure rolling system (at 500 kg) with the WAAM process, and the obtained results are discussed.

PolyJet technology is an additive manufacturing (AM) technology commonly used for modeling, prototyping, and production applications. It is one of the techniques used for 3D printing. The PolyJet technique is a process that joins materials to fabricate a product from 3D CAD data in a layer-by-layer manner. The orientation of a layer can affect the mechanical properties of the product manufactured by the PolyJet technique because of its anisotropy. In this paper, tensile and shearing tests of specimens were developed with the PolyJet technique in order to study the mechanical properties according to the orientation of a layer. The mechanical properties of the specimens were determined on the basis of true stress-strain curves from tensile and shearing tests. In addition, the tensile and shearing tests were simulated under the same conditions as those of experiment, and the experiment and simulated results were compared. Through this study, the fracture criteria could be established.

The 3D printing of electronics has been a major application topics in additive manufacturing technology for a decade. In this paper, wireless power transfer (WPT) technology for 3D electronics is studied to supply electric power to its inner circuit. The principle of WPT is that electric power is induced at the recipient antenna coil under an alternating magnetic field. Importantly, the efficiency of WPT does rely on the design of the antenna coil shape. In 3D printed electronics, a flat antenna that can be placed on the printed plane within a layer of a 3D printed part is used, but provided a different antenna response compared to that of a conventional PCB antenna for NFC. This paper investigates the WPT response characteristics of a WPT antenna for 3D printed electronics associated with changes in its design elements. The effects of changing the antenna curvature and the gap between the wires were analyzed through experimental tests.
