In this study, the mold technology for manufacturing of porous implant was investigated. Firstly, we considered the concept of insert molding technology with 3D printing of porous inert part. The part on implant was designed in the end region of the implant. And then main implant bodies were manufactured using conventional machining method. The other porous parts were designed and optimized with molding simulation. As the feature size of porous implant was so small that perfect feature of it using 3D printing technology could not be obtained. So, we proposed another scheme for manufacturing of the porous implant in the replace of the former approach. Polymer mold cores with 3D printing technology were considered. The effects of addictive manufacturing process parameters on the properties of mechanical and dimensional accuracy were investigated. Direct 3D printed polymer mold cores were designed and manufactured under the simulation of thermal and molding analysis. It was shown that 3D printed mold core with polymer could be adapted to the injection molding for porous implant.

We report a one-step fabrication method of Poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene) (PFO) nanowire array with pronounced ${\beta}$-Phase. We use liquid-bridge-mediated nanotransfer molding (LB-nTM) which is a new direct nano-patterning method based on the direct transfer of various materials from a mold to a substrate via liquid layer. The formation of the ${\beta}$-phase morphology in the resulting PFO nanowire array was evidenced by the presence of an absorption peak at 435nm. With the collection polarizer oriented parallel to the wire long axis, the PL emission was most intense and an emission dichroic ratio, DRE, of 3.7 was determined. The nanowire array have been investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Also, we simply fabricated structure of device of ITO/PFO nanowire arrays/Al and the electroluminescence spectra were recorded at various applied voltage.

Aluminum alloys are extensively employed in several industries, such as automobile, aerospace, and architecture, owing to their high specific strength and electrical and thermal conductivities. However, to meet the rising industrial demands, aluminum alloys must be designed with both excellent mechanical and thermal properties. Computer-aided alloy design is emerging as a technique for developing novel alloys to overcome these trade-off properties. Thus, the development of a new experimental method for designing alloys with high-throughput confirmation is gaining focus. A new approach that rapidly manufactures aluminum alloys with different compositions is required in the alloy design process. This study proposes a combined approach to rapidly investigate the relationship between the microstructure and properties of aluminum alloys using a direct energy deposition system with a dual-nozzle metal 3D printing process. Two types of aluminum alloy powders (Al-4.99Si-1.05Cu-0.47Mg and Al-7Mg) are employed for the 3D printing-based combined method. Nine types of Al-Si-Cu-Mg alloys are manufactured using the combined method, and the relationship between their microstructures and properties is examined.

AMM(Additive Metal Manufacturing)이라 호칭되는 3차원 금속 프린팅(metal 3-D printing) 공정은 금속분말(metal powder)을 적층 재료로 사용하여 기계적부품용 실형상 금속 파트(metallic parts)를 직접 조형하여 제조한다. 한편, 조형 파트형상의 STL모델에 존재하는 기하학적 오류들과 특징형상들의 특이성으로 인하여 조형 작업 중에 내부에 결함들이 포함된 실형상 파트가 조형될 가능성이 존재하게 되며 이로 인해 3차원 금속 프린팅 조형공정 자체의 신뢰성에 문제를 야기할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 조형작업 중 발생할 수 있는 결함들을 미리 진단, 분석하고 수정하기 위하여 첫째, 조형 전에 STL 형상모델의 진단분석을 통하여 결함요소를 사전에 탐지하고 둘째, 적층 단면내 조형 공구 경로상에 실제로 포함된 결함들을 분석하고 이를 수정하기 위한 조형 파트 진단 및 조형 공구 경로 검증 연구방법을 제시하였다. 또한 DED(direct energy deposition) 공정을 기준으로 2가지 STL 형상파트 사례들에 대하여 제시한 연구방법의 case study를 수행하였다.

In this study, an oxygen plasma treatment was used as a low temperature debinding method to form a conductive copper feature on a flexible substrate using a direct printing process. To demonstrate this concept, conductive copper patterns were formed on polyimide films using a copper nanoparticle-based paste with polymeric binders and dispersing agents and a screen printing method. Thermal and oxygen plasma treatments were utilized to remove the polymeric vehicle before a sintering of copper nanoparticles. The effect of the debinding methods on the phase, microstructure and electrical conductivity of the screen-printed patterns was systematically investigated by FE-SEM, TGA, XRD and four-point probe analysis. The patterns formed using oxygen plasma debinding showed the well-developed microstructure and the superior electrical conductivity compared with those of using thermal debinding.

Direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) 방식은 3D 프린팅 중 한 방식으로, 재료를 쌓아가면서 레이저를 이용하여 선택적으로 sintering하는 방식이다. 이는 주조 방식에서 문제되는 결손과 뒤틀림을 방지할 수 있으며 절삭 가공 방식으로 제작하기 어려운 복잡한 구조물을 제작할 수 있다. 본 증례들은 DMLS 방식을 이용하여 지대치 간 길이가 긴 고정성 보철물, 포스트 등 다양한 고정성 보철물을 제작하여 수복하였고, 주기적인 관찰 결과 심미적, 기능적으로 만족할만한 결과를 얻었기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.

본 연구에서는 미세유체 시스템 제작에 적합한 3D 프린팅 방식 및 소재 별 표면특성 분석을 통해 각 응용 사례에 적합한 프린터 및 소재 선정에 가이드라인을 줄 수 있는 기초 연구를 수행하였다. 가장 보편적으로 사용되는 적층 방식과 해상도가 상대적으로 높은 광경화 방식에 대해 프린팅 방식과 소재에 따른 표면 특성을 살펴보았다. 적층 방식의 프린트물은 소재에 무관하게 후처리 전에는 친수성 특성을 보이나 아세톤 증기에 의한 후처리 후에는 소수성 특성을 보임을 확인할 수 있었다. SEM을 이용한 표면 조도 관찰을 통해 이러한 접촉각의 변화가 후처리에 의한 표면의 결 구조의 제거에 기인한 것임을 확인하였다. 광경화식 프린트물은 적층식 대비 친수성의 특성을 보였으나 소수성 코팅을 이용해 표면 개질이 가능함을 실험적으로 확인하였다. 두 프린팅 방식 중 투명한 재질이 요구되는 경우, 적층 방식은 투명한 시편을 만드는 것이 불가능함을 확인하였으며 광경화 방식의 경우 충분한 투명도가 확보됨을 확인하였다. 액적 접촉충전 현상에 기반한 디지털 전기천공 시스템의 electroporation chip을 광경화 방식으로 제작하였으며 성공적으로 전기천공을 시연함으로써 미세유체 시스템에 직접 적용이 가능함 또한 확인하였다.

Additive manufacturing (AM) is an alternative metal fabrication technology. The outstanding advantage of AM (3D-printing, direct manufacturing), is the ability to form shapes that cannot be formed with any other traditional technology. 3D-printing began as a new method of prototyping in plastics. Nowadays, AM in metals allows to realize not only net-shape geometry, but also high fatigue strength and corrosion resistant parts. This success of AM in metals enables new applications of the technology in important fields, such as production of medical implants. The 3D-printing of medical implants is an extremely rapidly developing application. The success of this development lies in the fact that patient-specific implants can promote patient recovery, as often it is the only alternative to amputation. The production of AM implants provides a relatively fast and effective solution for complex surgical cases. However, there are still numerous challenging open issues in medical 3D-printing. The goal of the current research review is to explain the whole technological and design chain of bio-medical bone implant production from the computed tomography that is performed by the surgeon, to conversion to a computer aided drawing file, to production of implants, including the necessary post-processing procedures and certification. The current work presents examples that were produced by joint work of Polygon Medical Engineering, Russia and by TechMed, the AM Center of Israel Institute of Metals. Polygon provided 3D-planning and 3D-modelling specifically for the implants production. TechMed were in charge of the optimization of models and they manufactured the implants by Electron-Beam Melting ($EBM^{(R)}$), using an Arcam $EBM^{(R)}$ A2X machine.

전자 기기의 소형화, 집적화 및 박형화에 따라 인쇄회로기판 제조 시 미세한 회로 패턴이 요구되고 있다. 기존의 인쇄회로기판은 dry film resist를 이용한 photolithography 법을 적용하여 주로 제조하지만, 미세 회로 패턴 구현을 위해서는 정밀한 마스크 설계 및 고가의 노광장비 등이 필요하다는 한계점이 있다. 이에 따라서 최근에는 dry film resist를 대체하여 미세 회로 패턴 형성에 유리한 광경화형 잉크를 직접인쇄 공정을 통해 인쇄회로기판의 회로 패턴을 형성하는 연구들이 관심받고 있다. 광경화형 잉크를 통한 회로 패턴 형성을 위해서는 동박과의 밀착성, 패턴 형성 과정에서의 에칭 저항성, 박리 특성의 제어가 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 광개시제 종류 및 함량이 다른 여러 광경화형 잉크를 제조하고 이들의 광경화 거동을 분석하였다. 또한, 광경화형 에칭 레지스트 잉크로의 적용성 평가를 위해 에칭 저항성, 박리성, 밀착성 등을 분석하였다.

To study encapsulation method for large-area organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), red emitting OLEDs were fabricated, on which LiF and Al were deposited as inorganic protective films. And then the OLED was attached to flat glass by printing method using epoxy. In case of direct coating of epoxy onto OLED by printing method, luminance and current efficiency were remarkably decreased because of the damage to the OLED by epoxy. In case of depositing LiF and Al as inorganic protective films and then coating of epoxy onto OLED, luminance and current efficiency were not changed. OLED lifetime was more increased through inorganic protective films between OLED and flat glass than that without any encapsulation (8.8 h), i.e., 47 (LiF/Al/epoxy/glass), 62 (LiF/Al/LiF/epoxy/glass), and 84 h (LiF/Al/Al/epoxy/glass). The characteristics of OLED encapsulated with inorganic protective films (attached to flat glass) showed the possibility of application of protective films.
