Recently, the patent rights for 3D printing technology have expired, while 3D printers with RP (Rapid Prototyping or Additive Manufacturing) and 3D printing technologies are receiving attention. In particular, the development of 3D printers is rapid in Korea, thanks to the increasing sales and popularity of FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling or Fused Filament Fabrication) 3D printers. However, the quality and productivity of the FDM 3D Printer are not good, so customers prefer the DLP (Digital Light Processing) method to avoid these shortcomings. The DLP method has high quality and productivity. However, because of the stereolithography equipment, it has few studies compared to optimal values for elements then FDM 3D printing study. In this study, to find the optimal conditions for 3D printing with the DLP method, the aim is to obtain the optimal values (strength, final time, quality) by changing the light exposure time, layer thickness, and z-axis speed.

Due to the depletion of fossil oil and the increasing oil price, bio-plastic is currently topical. Bio-based plastics are synthesized from plant resources, unlike conventional petroleum-based counterparts. Therefore, the former minimizes global warming and reduces carbon dioxide emission. Fossil polycarbonate (PC)has good mechanical and optical properties, but its synthesis requires bisphenol-A and phosgene gas, which are toxic to humans. To address these problems, the fused deposition 3D printing process (hereafter, FDM) is studied using environmentally-friendly and high-strength bio-based PC. A comparisonof the environmental impact and tensile strength of fossil PC versus bio-based PC is presented herein, demonstrating that bio-based PC is more environmentally-friendly with higher tensile strength than fossil PC. The advantages of bio-based PC are applied in the FDM process for the fabrication of environmentally-friendly baby toys.

In these days, various kinds of rapid prototyping processes are available, such as stereo-lithography apparatus(SLA), fused deposition modeling(FDM), selective laser sintering(SLS), 3 dimensional printing(3DP), and laminated object manufacturing(LOM). For detailed informations about mechanical properties of those parts, benchmark tests are carried out. SLS and EOS part has an advantage in compressive strength, SLA has in hardness, FDM part has in impact strength, and LOM part has an advantage in tensile strength and heat resistance. The change of building direction in layered manufacturing processes of FDM and LOM severely weakens the tensile and impact strength.

This paper proposes how to solve a problem of FDM 3D printer's irregular output when changing volume of extrusion, adjusting movement speed of the printer's head and a way to fill new inner part. Existing slicers adjust directly to change the rotation speed of the stepper. In this method, the change of the extrusion area is delayed due to the gap between the stepper and the nozzle, so that precise control is difficult. We control the extrusion area adjusting the moving speed of the print head and making constantly the rotation speed of the stepper. Thus, the output time can be shortened by generating an efficient path having a short travel distance. For evaluation, we applied our method to lithophanes with detailed variation. Comparing existing methods, our method reduced output time at least 30%.

Fused deposition modeling (FDM), based on stacking a continuous filament of polymer or composite materials, is well matured and is thus widely used in additive manufacturing technology. To advance FDM-based 3D printing technology, the mechanical properties of additively manufactured composite materials must be improved. In this study, we proposed a novel FDM 3D printing process using metal wire-polymer composites, enabling enhanced mechanical properties. In addition, we developed a new type FDM filament of copper wire wrapped in nylon material for stable 3D printing without thermal damage during the printing process. After FDM printing of the copper wire-nylon composite filament, we conducted a tensile test to investigate the mechanical behavior of the printed composite materials. The experimental results confirmed that the tensile strength of the 3D-printed metal wire-polymer composites was higher than that of the conventional single polymer material. Thus, we expect that the FDM printing process developed in this study may be promising for high-load-bearing applications.

자율주행 시스템은 빅데이타를 기반으로 하여 딥러닝 시스템을 기반으로 하고 있으며, 사용되는 데이타는 다양한 센서를 이용하여 수집된다. 그런 센서에 있어서 소형화와 고성능화는 자율주행 시스템 뿐만 아니라 IoT 기반의 다양한 제품에서도 요구되고 있다. 특히, 소형화는 센서의 소형화 뿐만 아니라 센서를 설치하기 위한 기구의 소형화도 동시에 요구하고 있다. 그런 점에서 금속 기구는 센서를 고정하기 위한 가장 좋은 방법을 제시해 주고 있다. 하지만, 소형 센서를 위한 금속 기구 형상을 가공하는 것이 어렵거나, 제작 비용이 높아질 수 있다. 이를 위한 대안으로 본 연구에서는 금속 필라멘트를 기반으로 한 FDM (Fused deposition modeling) 공정을 제시하고, 금속 FDM의 기초가 되는 공정에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 금속 FDM 공정을 통해서 얻어지는 금속 부품은 탈지-소결의 후 과정을 통해서 만들어진다. 본 연구에서는 출력 시 설정 변수인 내부 채움 비율(Infill rate) 과 소결 공정 후 밀도 사이에 관계를 조사하였다. 이는 내부 채움 비율과 후 처리 이후 얻어지는 시편의 밀도가 다를 수 있음을 기반으로 하고 있으며, 금속 FDM 공정 이후 얻어지는 출력물의 밀도를 높이기 위한 기초 연구로 의미가 크다고 할 수 있다.

This study investigated process conditions for 3D printing through manufacturing thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) samples under different infill conditions. Samples were prepared using a fused deposition modeling 3D printer and TPU filament. 12 infill patterns were set (2D: grid, lines, zigzag; 3D: triangles, cubic, cubic subdivision, octet, quarter cubic; 3DF: concentric, cross 3D, cross, honeycomb), with 3 infill densities (20%, 50%, 80%). Morphology, actual time/weight and compressive properties were analyzed. In morphology: it was found that, as infill density increased, the increase rate of the number of units rose for 2D and fell for 3DF. Printing time varied with the number of nozzle movements. In the 3DF case, the number of nozzle movements increased rapidly with infill density. Sample weight increased similarly. However, where the increase rate of the number of units was low, sample weight was also low. In compressive properties: compressive stress increased with infill density and stress was high for the patterns with layers of the same shape.

3D printing has the advantage of being able to process various types of parts by layering materials. In addition to these advantages, 3D printing technology allows models to be processed quickly without any special work that can be used in different fields to produce workpieces for various purposes and shapes. This paper deals to not only increase the utilization of 3D printing technology, but also to revitalize 3D printing technology in applications that require similar cryogenic environments. The goal of this study is to identify the mechanical properties of polylactic acid and photopolymer resin processed by Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) and Digital Light Processing (DLP) respectively. The entire process is meticulously examined, starting from getting the thermal contraction using an extensometer. A uniaxial tensile test is employed, which enables to obtain the mechanical properties of the samples at both room temperature (RT) and cryogenic temperature of 77 K. As the results, photopolymer resin exhibited higher tensile properties than polylactic acid at RT. However, at cryogenic temperatures (77 K), the photopolymer resin became brittle and failure occurred due to thermal contraction, while polylactic acid demonstrated superior tensile properties. Therefore, polylactic acid is more suitable for lower temperatures.
