Objectives: This study aimed to review the characteristics of three-dimensional printing technology focusing on printing types, materials, and health hazards. We discussed the methodologies for exposure assessment on hazardous substances emitted from 3D printing through article reviews. Methods: Previous researches on 3D printing technology and exposure assessment were collected through a literature review of public reports and research articles reported up to July 2018. We mainly focused on introducing the technologies, printing materials, hazardous emissions during 3D printing, and the methodologies for evaluation. Results: 3D printing technologies can be categorized by laminating type. Fused deposition modeling(FDM) is the most widely used, and most studies have conducted exposure assessment using this type. The printing materials involved were diverse, including plastic polymer, metal, resin, and more. In the FDM types, the most commonly used material was polymers, such as acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene(ABS) and polylactic acids(PLA). These materials are operated under high-temperature conditions, so high levels of ultrafine particles(mainly nanoparticle size) and chemical compounds such as organic compounds, aldehydes, and toxic gases were identified as being emitted during 3D printing. Conclusions: Personal desktop 3D printers are widely used and expected to be constantly distributed in the future. In particular, hazardous emissions, including nano sized particles and various thermal byproducts, can be released under operation at high temperatures, so it is important to identify the health effects by emissions from 3D printing. Furthermore, appropriate control strategies should be also considered for 3D printing technology.

Objective: Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a recent technological development that may play a significant role in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment. It can be used to fabricate skull models or study models, as well as to make replica teeth in autotransplantation or tooth impaction cases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of fabrication of replica teeth made by two types of 3D printing technologies. Methods: Fifty extracted molar teeth were selected as samples. They were scanned to generate high-resolution 3D surface model stereolithography files. These files were converted into physical models using two types of 3D printing technologies: Fused deposition modeling (FDM) and PolyJet technology. All replica teeth were scanned and 3D images generated. Computer software compared the replica teeth to the original teeth with linear measurements, volumetric measurements, and mean deviation measurements with best-fit alignment. Paired t-tests were used to statistically analyze the measurements. Results: Most measurements of teeth formed using FDM tended to be slightly smaller, while those of the PolyJet replicas tended to be slightly larger, than those of the extracted teeth. Mean deviation measurements with best-fit alignment of FDM and PolyJet group were 0.047 mm and 0.038 mm, respectively. Although there were statistically significant differences, they were regarded as clinically insignificant. Conclusions: This study confirms that FDM and PolyJet technologies are accurate enough to be usable in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment.

3D 프린팅 기술에 있어서, 각각의 기술들은 고품질의 출력물을 얻기 위해서는 최적화해야 할 다양한 인자들을 가지고 있다. FDM (fused deposition modeling) 방식의 3D 프린터 또한 최적화해야 할 다수의 인자들이 있다. 그 중에서도 노즐 온도와 노즐 이송 속도는 가장 기본이 되는 인자라고 할 수 있다. 안정적인 출력이 가능한 두 인자의 조합을 찾는 것은 FDM 장비를 이용한 출력에 있어서 가장 먼저 선행되어야 할 일이다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 두 인자 조합에 따라 단일 라인 출력을 수행하였고, 얻어진 출력 결과물을 평가를 통하여 안정적인 출력이 가능한 범위를 선정하는 새로운 방법을 제시하였다. 제시한 방법을 통하여 평가한 안정적 조건 범위들을 동일 범위 조건 아래에서 다층 단일 라인 출력을 통하여 검증하였다. 그 결과, 단일 라인과 다층 단일 라인 출력이 동일한 안정적 범위를 보이고 있음을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이는 본 논문에서 제안한 단일 라인 평가법을 다층 출력의 안정성을 그대로 반영할 수 있음을 보여 준다. 이상의 결과들로 볼 때, 제안한 방법은 간단한 실험과 측정 방법을 이용하여 손쉽게 수행 될 수 있다는 점과 공정 변수들의 최적화를 위한 기본 데이터를 제공한다는 점에서도 그 의미를 찾을 수 있었다.

In this study, optimal adhesion conditions to alleviate defects caused by heat shrinkage with FDM type 3D printers with machine learning are researched. Machine learning is one of the "statistical methods of extracting the law from data" and can be classified as supervised learning, unsupervised learning and reinforcement learning. Among them, a function model for adhesion between the bed and the output is presented using supervised learning specialized for optimization, which can be expected to reduce output defects with FDM type 3D printers by deriving conditions for optimum adhesion between the bed and the output. Machine learning codes prepared using Python generate a function model that predicts the effect of operating variables on adhesion using data obtained through adhesion testing. The adhesion prediction data and verification data have been shown to be very consistent, and the potential of this method is explained by conclusions.

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.

3D 프린터 관련 특허가 만료되고 주요 기술이 공개되면서 3D 프린터 가격이 하락하면서 원하는 제품을 쉽게 찾을 수 있는 환경이 조성되고 있다. 특히 가장 저렴한 FDM(Fused Deposition Modeling) 3D 프린터가 다양한 분야에서 사용되고 있다. FDM 방식은 형상을 출력할 때 특정 조건이상에서는 지지대(Support)를 붙여야만 형상의 무너짐 없이 제작이 가능하다. 지지대를 달지 않고 형상을 출력할 때 특정 각도에서 발생하는 불규칙한 표면은 제품에 있어서는 불량이지만 예술과 공예적 측면에서는 또 다른 재미를 느낄 수 있는 요소로 활용될 수 있다고 사료된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 불규칙한 표면을 얻기 위해 출력에 영향을 줄 수 있는 요인들을 제어하고 출력 각도만 변위요소로 실험하였다. 실험 결과 수직에서 62°~70°의 각도로 프린팅 시 필라멘트가 흘러내리지 않고 불규칙한 표면을 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 인위적으로 불규칙한 표면을 공예적인 제품에 적용해 보았다.

Tool path generation is a part of process planning in 3D printing. This is done before actual printing by a computer rather than an AM machine. The mesh geometry of the 3D model is sliced layer-by-layer along the Z-axis and tool paths are generated from the sliced layers. Each 2-dimensional layer can have two types of printing paths: (i) shell and (ii) infill. Shell paths are made of offset loops. During shell generation, twists can be produced in offset loops which will cause twisted tool paths. As a twisted tool path cannot be printed, it is necessary to remove these twists during process planning. In this research, An algorithm is presented to remove twists from the offset loops. To do so the path segments are traversed to identify twisted points. Outer offset loops are represented in the counter-clockwise segment order and clockwise rotation for the inner offset loop to decide which twisted loop should be removed. After testing practical 3D models, the proposed algorithm is verified to use in tool path generation for 3D printing.

This study aims to confirm the possibility of Ultra-Violet (UV)-printed 3D printing materials using thermal polyurethane (TPU) with CMYK colors by applying an eco-friendly UV digital printing process. A UV-printed 3D printing TPU material was prepared with cycles of UV printing and CMYK colors. Dyeability of the 3D TPU samples with cycles of UV printing and CMYK were analyzed for thickness, weight, surface roughness, reflectance, colorimetry, and K/S values. The thickness and weight of 3D-printed TPU samples with cycles of UV printing are increased with overprints from 1 to 5. The surface roughness of 3D-printed TPU samples with increasing UV prints were decreased, meaning that the surface of TPU samples becomes gradually smoother. The reflectance spectra of CMYK UV-printed TPU samples showed the surface reflectance within each characteristic wavelength of CMYK. The 3D-printed TPU samples, subjected to UV printing twice or more, showed low surface reflectance. After examining the L^*a^*b^* of the 3D-printed TPU samples by the cycles of UV printing, the study found that the more UV got printed more than 2 times, the closer the color to each CMYK.

In this paper, the effects of different 3D printing conditions including oil lubrication and annealing are observed for their effects on tensile testing. In 3D printing, a press-out extrude filament is rapidly heated and cooled to create internal stress in the printed part. The 3D printing internal stress can be removed using oil-coated filament and annealing. During the oven cooling at an annealing temperature of $106^{\circ}C$, the stress of the specimens with laminated angle $0^{\circ}$ tends to increase by 12.6%, and that of the oil-coated filament printing specimens is increased by 17%. At the annealing temperature of $106^{\circ}C$, the stress of the oil-coated filament printing specimens tends to increase by 35%. In this study, we have found that the oil lubrication and annealing remove the internal stresses and increase the strength of the printed specimens. The oil lubrication and annealing reform the crystalline structures to even out the areas of high and low stress, which creates fewer fragile areas. These results are very useful for the manufacture of 3D printing products with a suitable mechanical strength for applications.
