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%.

This paper presents the experimental results of hydrophobic surfaces developed using a stereolithography-based additive-manufacturing technique. The additive manufacturing technique can be used to manufacture objects with complex geometries from computer-aided design data. Several additive manufacturing methods, such as selective laser sintering, fused deposition modeling, stereolithography apparatus (SLA), and inkjet-based system, have been developed. The SLA is a form of three-dimensional printing technology used to create prototypes, patterns, and production parts in successive layers through photochemical processes. Light causes chemical monomers and oligomers to cross-link together to form objects composed of polymers. Moreover, this method is economical for fabricating surfaces with high output resolution and quality. Here, we fabricate various surfaces using different shapes using an SLA. The surfaces with micro-patterns are fabricated for 10 cases, including the biomimetic surface. The fabricated surfaces with various micro-patterns are evaluated for hydrophobicity performance based on the static contact angle. The contact angle is measured three times for each case, and the averaged value is used. The results indicate that the arrangements in a staggered structure have a larger contact angle than those in a line when the same micro-pattern is applied. Moreover, the mimetic surfaces exhibit more hydrophobic characteristics than those of artificial micro-patterns.

Most companies use technologies such as stereolithography, selective laser sintering, and fused deposition modeling to make parts for such small consumer products as telephones, heads, and shoes. The largest part that the existing RP systems can make is only 600 mm in length. Because most RP systems build parts by depositing, solidifying, or sintering material point-by-point, making larger objects takes a long time. and in many cases, large objects won't fit the build size. A new effective thick-layered RP process. Transfer type Variable Lamination Manufacturing using expandable polystyrene foam (VLM-ST) has been developed with thick layers and sloped surfaces. In this paper, a scaledown model of F16 Fighter with the length of 800 mm is rapidly fabricated using the VLM-ST process. In order to build a CAD model of F16 larger than 600 mm in length, the approach in VLM-ST is to build larger parts in multiple sub-parts and then glue them together. The fabricated result shows that the VLM-ST process employing thick layers and sloped surfaces is adequate for creating the real-sized large objects in the diverse fields such as automobiles, electric home appliances, electronics. and etc.

There was a great problem about the deposition between materials of a different kind at the beginnings of the introduction of porcelains, however, thereafter the deposition efficiency was settlded to the sufficient level of all user thanks to effort to have studied by many scholars and clinical authorities. But in a clinical process, as the difference of designs has an effect on fractures of porcelains, this researcher divided them into 4 groups of A: 1 mm, B: 2 mm, C: 3 mm, and D: 4 mm, and made 40 pieces to each 10 as the test samples to consider a length axis of tooth for studies in accordance with a position of a finishing line to meet between porcelain and metal at the contact point at the adjacent side to a metal porcelain. The sample materials are those to be use at the open market and the test samples wer completed by the same manufacturing technique to that of existent metal porcelain tube. s a result of the strength test on fractures, the average value is as in the following, A: 1 mm - 8.5bar, B: 2 mm - 10.5bar, C: 3 mm - 14.3bar, and D: 4 mm - 15.0bar. In case of the metal porcelain tube, the more faraway to process parts of metal and porcelain from the contact point of adjacent side has the stronger strength of fractures, Accordingly, the research shows that it had better to keep off more than 3 to consider a ledngth axis of tooth.

Objectives: Fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printer which is one of the material extrusion (MEX) technologies is an additive manufacturing (AM) process. 3D printers have been distributed widely in Korea, particularly in school and office, even at home. Several studies have shown that nanoparticles and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were emitted from an FDM 3D printing process. The objective of this study was to identify types of chemicals possibly emitted from FDM 3D printing materials such as PLA (polylactic acid), ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), nylon, PETG (polyethylene terephthalate glycol), PVA (polyvinyl alcohol), PC (polycarbonate) filaments. Methods: 19 FDM 3D printing filaments which have been distributed in Korea were selected and analyzed VOCs emitted of 3D printing materials by headspace gas chromatography mass spectrometry (headspace GC-MS). Subsamples were put into a vial and heated up to 200℃ (500 rpm) during 20 minutes before analyzing FDM 3D printing filaments. Results: In the case of PLA filament, lactide and methyl methacrylate, the monomer components of one, were detected, and the volume ratio ranged 27~93%, 0.5~37% respectively. In the case of ABS filaments, styrene (50.5~59.1%), the monomer components of one, was detected. Several VOCs among acetaldehyde, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene, etc were detected from each FDM 3D printing filaments. Conclusions: Several VOCs, semi-VOCs were emitted from FDM 3D printing filaments in this study and previous studies. Users were possibly exposed to ones so that we strongly believe that we recommend to install the ventilation system such as a local exhaust ventilation (LEV) when they operate the FDM 3D printers in a workplace.

This study explores a new energy partitioning approach to determine the fracture toughness of 3-D printed pristine/recycled high density polyethylene (HDPE) blends employing the essential work of fracture (EWF) concept. The traditional EWF approach conducts a uniaxial tensile test with double-edge notched tensile (DENT) specimens and measures the total energy defined by the area under a load-displacement curve until failure. The approach assumes that the entire total energy contributes to the fracture process only. This assumption is generally true for extruded polymers that fracture occurs in a material body. In contrast to the traditional extrusion manufacturing process, the current 3-D printing technique employs fused deposition modeling (FDM) that produces layer-by-layer structured specimens. This type of specimen tends to include separation energy even after the complete failure of specimens when the fracture test is conducted. The separation is not relevant to the fracture process, and the raw experimental data are likely to possess random variation or noise during fracture testing. Therefore, the current EWF approach may not be suitable for the fracture characterization of 3-D printed specimens. This paper proposed a new energy partitioning approach to exclude the irrelevant energy of the specimens caused by their intrinsic structural issues. The approach determined the energy partitioning location based on experimental data and observations. Results prove that the new approach provided more consistent results with a higher coefficient of correlation.

최근의 IoT 센서의 소형화와 센서의 소형화로 인하여 다른 센서 및 구조물들과의 간섭 및 견고성을 고려하여 더욱 복잡해 지고 있다. 최근 3D 프린팅 기술은 센서 직접 제작이나, 센서 소자를 포함하는 기구를 만드는 분야에 다양하게 적용이 되고 있다. 그 중에서, fused deposition modeling(FDM) 기술은 장비 및 소재의 가격이 상당히 저렴하며, IoT 기기의 제작이 활용이 가능한 가장 유력한 기술중에 하나이다. 그런 FDM 프린팅 기술은 플라스틱 소재 기반의 필라멘트를 녹여서 적층하여 3D 형상을 만들어 내는 기술이며, 최근에 특허 종료와 아울러 오픈 소스 기반의 저가형 프린터가 개발됨으로 일반인들에게도 널리 사용되고 있다. 이런 FDM 기술을 이용하여 출력된 출력물에 있어서 기계적 물성치는 소재의 종류와 다양한 공정 변수들에 의해서 영향을 받는다. 그 중에서도 내부 채움(infill)은 기계적 물성치에도 큰 영향을 주면, 출력 시간에도 영향을 준다. 따라서 본 논문에서 내부 채움과 기계적 물성치 및 출력 시간 사이의 관계를 규명하여, 기계 기구물을 제작할 때 출력 시간과 기계적 물성치를 고려한 최적의 내부 채움 조건 선정 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 제시된 방법을 증명하고자, 다른 공정은 모두 고정하고, 내부 채움 조건만을 변경한 인장 시편을 제작하고, 제작된 시편을 인장 실험을 통하여 내부 채움에 따른 출력물의 기계적 물성치를 비교 분석하였다.

Rapid Prototyping(RP) has been widely applied in designing and developing processes a new product. The functional requirements of a rapid prototyping system are high speed and high accuracy, and they depend on the operating parameters, some of which can be set by users. The accuracy is evaluated by dimensional errors and form errors of manufactured pars. A specially designed specimen with various features has been used for the accuracy evaluation. According to the Taguchi experimental design techniques, and orthogonal array of experiments has been set which has the least number of experimental runs to find the parametric effects. A laser scanner is used to obtain the point data of the parts and Surfacer is used to determine the lengths and angles. The conditions for the FDM manufacturing parametrs have been found.
