Calcium-phosphate-based bioceramics are promising biomaterials for scaffolds because they can assist in bone regeneration. In this study, a laser sintering deposition system was developed, and 3D hydroxyapatite (HA) scaffolds were fabricated. The main process conditions of the HA scaffolds were laser power, table velocity, and laser focal distance. As the laser power increased, the line width, line height, and layer thickness also increased. Further, the line width, line height, and layer thickness decreased as the table velocity increased. As the laser focal distance increased, the line width increased, but the line height and layer thickness decreased. The fabricated green scaffolds were sintered at 1050 ℃ and 1150 ℃. The sintered scaffolds had a uniform and continuous interconnected shape, with pore sizes ranging from 850 to 950 ㎛ having 53% porosity. The compressive strength of the scaffolds decreased from 0.72 MPa (1050 ℃) to 0.53 MPa (1150 ℃). The biocompatibility of the scaffolds was investigated by analyzing the adhesion of osteoblast-like MG-63 cells cultured on the surfaces of the scaffolds. The results indicate that the scaffold sintered at 1050 ℃ had good mechanical and biological properties compared to that at 1150 ℃.

In this study, we developed a novel laser sintering deposition system (LSDS) based on solid free-form fabrication (SFF) technology as it has the potential to fabricate complex geometries with controllable architecture for bone tissue engineering applications. The 3D biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) scaffolds were fabricated with a pore size of 800㎛, a line width and height of 1000㎛, and an overall size of 8.2×8.2×8.0 mm3 according to the design of experiment (DOE) results. Additionally, an optimized manufacturing process using response surface analysis was established to fabricate 3D BCP scaffolds. The fabricated 3D BCP scaffolds were sintered at 950℃, 1050℃, 1150℃, and 1250℃ according to sintering processes with a furnace. As the sintering temperature increased, the porosity increased. Through the compressive strength test, the 3D BCP scaffolds sintered at 1050℃ presented good results of about 0.76 MPa. These results suggest that fabrication methods for 3D bioceramic scaffolds using LSDS may meet the basic requirements for bone tissue engineering.

Metal 3D-printing technology enables the manufacture of complex features or internal structures, which is not possible in fabrication by conventional cutting methods. The most successful types of metal 3D printing have been powder bed diffusion and directed energy deposition, which use laser heads exploiting high-power laser sintering metal powder. In this study, a cost-effective optical design was proposed for a 2-kW-level fiber laser head. Only two commercial lenses, a beamsplitter and a window, are used in the laser head, satisfying the technological requirements. According to the optical design, the spot size was 2.54 mm, and the stand-off distance from the laser head was 295 mm. The intensity distribution was Gaussian. Thus, smooth power sintering was possible without any laser spot marks. Monte Carlo analysis was employed to verify the consistency of the optical performance under conventional assembly tolerance.

레이저 애블레이션에 의해서 가지상 구조체 형상인 나노입자 응집체를 합성하였다. 기존 마이크론 금속섬유 필터의 표면상에 나노입자 응집체를 고착하여 여과성능을 향상시켰다. 에어로졸 상에서 소결 처리된 나노입자 응집체를 증착한 후 열처리를 하여 나노구조체가 표면상에 형성된 소결 처리된 나노입자 응집체 고착 필터를 제작하였다. 소결 온도가 증가할수록 마이크론 금속섬유 필터 표면상에 고착된 나노입자 응집체의 표면적 증가로 인하여 차압은 조금 증가하지만 여과효율은 현저하게 증가하였다.

1mm-thick BLT ceramics were sintered in accordance with a bulk ceramic fabrication process. All XRD peaks detected in the sintered ceramics were indexed as the Bi-layered perovskite structure without secondary phases. Density was increased with increasing the sintering temperature up to $1050\;^{\circ}C$ and the maximum value was about 98% of the theoretical density. The remanent polarization (2Pr) value of BLT ceramic sintered at $1050\;^{\circ}C$ was approximately $6.5\;{\mu}C/cm^2$ at the applied voltage of 4.5kV. From these results, a BLT ceramic target for plused laser deposition (PLD) system was successfully fabricated.

골 모델제작에 사용되는 3차원 프린팅 선택적 레이저 소결(selective laser sintering; SLS) 방식과 광 경화 조형(stereo lithography apparatus; SLA) 방식은 정밀도와 해상도는 좋으나 프린터가 고가이며 운용에 전문지식이 필요하고, 전산화단층 DICOM(digital imaging and communications in medicine)영상을 STL(stereolithography)로 변환하는 프로그램도 고가여서 3차원 프린팅 업체에서 모델을 제작하여 많은 시간과 비용이 소요되므로 일반적으로 골절수술에 사용하지 못하고 있다. 골절환자의 골 모델을 제작하려면 3차원 영상변환프로그램과 3차원 프린팅시스템의 사용이 편리하고 구입 및 운용비용이 저렴해야 하며 큰 골 모델제작이 가능하여야 수술에 사용할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 DICOM Viewer OsiriX와 와이어형태의 열가소성 재료를 사용하는 용융적층조형(Fused Deposition Modeling; FDM) 방식의 3차원 프린터를 이용하여 출력 크기에 제한이 없고 적은 비용으로 유지와 제작을 할 수 있도록 일반화하여 많은 병원에서 골절수술에 사용할 수 있도록 골절수술환자의 맞춤형 골 모델을 제작할 수 있는 3차원 프린팅 시스템을 개발하였으며 정형외과학의 교육, 연구, 진료의 전 분야에 걸쳐 광범위하게 응용될 것으로 예상되며, 대학병원뿐 아니라 일반병원에서도 편리하게 사용될 것으로 기대된다.

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.

As SLA(Sterealithography), SLS(Selective Laser Sintering), LOM(Laminated Object Manufacturing), FDM(Fused Deposition Modeling) etc. The FDM system the heart of a study and is developed by Stratasys co. ltd, in US., is small and cheap R.P. The material filament is heated until the material reaches a near-liquid state, it is pumped through a nozzle and become hand with a shape required, and this nozzle move pumping on the previously deposited material. Such FDM system that choice deposition type with X-Y plouter obtain in the thin continue layer by decreasing amount of extrusion or to central the injection amount when the head slow down at the corner, but in the process that fusion wax or resin become hand, deformation occur and it will affect the shape accuracy and the surface roughness. Such effect will depreciate quality and reliability of the product. Therefore, when the product made in actuality, the fundamental study on the basis geometry(surface, volume, line, angle) must be preceded and it have been research by many Free Form Fabrication. So, this basic object study purpose to obtain the fundamental geometry data and to enhance the surface roughness of the shape. And an operant can use the data for the progress of the surface roughness. This study research the estimation and application of the prototype surface roughness by adjustment the injection amount. And basie of this research, describe the pattern of prototype surface roughness and also used the result to estimate the surface of prototype.
