Reverse offset printing is considering as an emerging technology for printed electronics owing to its environmentally friendliness and cost-effectiveness. In reverse offset printing, selecting the materials for cliché and blanket is critical because of its minimum resolution, registration errors, aspect ratio of reliefs, pattern area, and reusability. Various materials such as silicon, quartz, glass, electroplated nickel plates, and imprinted polymers on rigid substrates can be used for the reverse offset printing of cliché. However, when new structures are designed for specific applications, new clichés need to re-fabricated each time employing multiple time-consuming and costly processes. Therefore, by modifying the blanket materials containing the printing ink, several new structures can be easily created using the same cliché. In this study, we investigated various elastomeric materials and evaluated their applicability for designing a highly stretchable blanket with controlled elastic deformation to implement tunable reverse offset printing.

3D 프린터는 개인의 창의력을 실제로 구현할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 이 특성을 활용하려는 사람들은 증가하고 있지만 적합한 프린팅 교육의 기회 부족과 잘못된 출력 방법으로 문제 발생의 어려움을 겪는다. 따라서 저하된 출력물 품질이 사용자의 관심을 낮춰 점차 3D 프린터의 활용빈도 수를 감소시키게 된다. 본 연구에서는 3D 프린터의 오작동 해결과 편의성의 개선을 위해 직접 기기를 작동하면서 발생하는 문제를 파악하고 분석했다. 여러 문제점 중 안착 불량, 스트링 현상, 노즐 막힘을 중점으로 해결과 완화 연구를 진행하였다. 또한, 3D 프린터의 기능을 실험을 통해 재료소모량 감소와 출력시간 단축 방법을 고찰했다. 최종적으로 3D 프린팅 중 빈번하게 발생하는 출력문제를 해결해 외관이 온전한 출력물을 얻을 수 있었고 편의성을 개선하였다.

본 연구에서는 패키징 인쇄를 위한 병렬 오프셋 인쇄 공정의 스케줄링 문제를 다루었다. 문제에 대해 두 부분으로 구분하여 접근하였고, 각각 할당 문제와 차량 경로 문제를 적용하여 수리적으로 모형화 하였다. 스케줄링 모형의 현장 적용성은 실험을 통해 검토하였다. 실제 데이터로 구성된 작은 규모의 문제에서는 수리모형으로도 실용적인 시간 내에 최적해를 도출할 수 있었고 이와 비교하여 메타 휴리스틱의 성능을 확인하였다. 기업이 보유한 데이터를 바탕으로 문제 규모를 확장한 실험에서는, 수리모형의 최적해와 비교하여 메타 휴리스틱이 해의 품질을 보장하면서 시간적 효율성을 확보할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 수작업 위주의 기존 방식은 주체(작업자)에 따라 스케줄링의 결과에 불확실성이 존재하는 문제에 주목하였다. 이러한 불확실성은 전체 생산 비용의 증가를 가져오기 때문에 이를 개선할 수 있도록 실용적인 시간 내에 일관된 결과를 제공하는 스케줄링 모형을 제시하였다. 제시한 모형은 단일 라인과 병렬 라인 모두에 적용되어 작업자의 경험에 의존하던 기존의 방식을 개선하는데 도움이 될 것으로 판단되며, 시간 함수의 정의를 통해 다른 요인들을 반영하는 연구로의 확장이 가능하다는 의의를 갖는다. 향후 주문의 납기, 복수의 라인에서 동일 주문 인쇄, 동일하지 않은 라인의 인쇄 용량, 조색 난이도 등을 고려하는 연구로의 확장을 통해 패키징 인쇄 분야의 스마트 생산 시스템 도입에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In large-scale hospitals, the department of biomedical engineering should always provide quick repair service for damaged medical devices to guarantee continuous patient treatment. However, in actual circumstances, there are so many time-consuming issues that delays device repair for weeks or even months; therefore, it is required to prepare alternative ways for quick repair service. In this study, we first mentioned about the regulation issues in Korea about the 3D printing-based medical device repair, and then introduced the results of our preliminary study that evaluated the feasibility of 3D printing-based medical device repair before real-field application. Results of the study demonstrated that, in all of the 23 cases, parts for repair that were manufactured by 3D-printing were successfully fixed and connected to the main body of the original device, and showed sufficient rigidity for protecting internal parts of the device. Considering the experimental results, medical device repair by applying 3D printing technology can be a promising alternative in cases when regular repair process is not available or takes too much time.

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.

3D프린팅의 활용은 매우 혁신적이면서 유용한 기술이다. 하지만 장신구 분야에서는 3D프린팅 기술은 제작방법의 한 분야로서 한정적 으로 사용되는 기술이다. 이러한 3D프린팅의 한계를 극복하기 위해 3D프린팅 출력방식 중 가장 대중적이며 조형활동에 적합한 출력방식을 선정하고 출력시간, 조건을 한정하여 장신구에 적용 가능성을 알아보기 위해 비주조과정과 주조과정 각각의 방법을 통해 시제품까지 완성하고 이를 비교해 보았다. 그 결과, FDM출력 방식은 비용과 시간적인 측명에서 매우 긍정적인 장점이 있지만 표면에 적층구조가 지워지지 않으며 출력과정시 발생되는 필라멘트의 잔여물로 인해 선 조형을 표면시 완성도가 떨어지는 단점이 있었다. DLP출력방식은 표면처리가 고르며 완성도가 높은 반면, 비용과 시간적인 측면에서 효율성이 떨어지는 단점이 있었다. 하지만 두 출력방법 모두 장신구 활용 가능하며 향후 디자인에 맞는 다양한 출력방법연구가 이루어져 장신구에 3D 작품연구가 활발히 수행되기를 바란다.

Transfer printing is a method to combine printing and dyeing technology by the use of sublimation. It is an environmentally-friendly printing method that saves costs, reduces the production processes by the omission of the washing process, and saves time by maintaining quality. Due to the development of transfer printing, a high value added printing technology is available now but color fastness to sublimation of the printing products is still low since there are few dyes that have an affinity to the fabrics and the application technology is still inadequate. Specially, in case of high concentration black dyes, eco-label type black dyes, which is a substitution for general dispersal dyes, have been developed while general dispersal black dyes are still used, creating issues such as color differences on the surface and back side of the fabrics and contamination by friction after transfer printing. There are also some restricted substances such as allergens. To address these issues, high concentration black dyes and application technology that are environmentally-friendly and that have over 16 K/S through the use of single dyes with excellent color fastness, fixation ability, and similar melting temperature were developed for this study.

In this paper, we investigated the problems and solutions in the production of scaffolds using commercially available FDM 3D printers. We used ADRIGE TRIZ algorithm to systematically analyze the problems and suggest solutions. We printed scaffolds using suggested solutions. We measured the pore size and printing time of the scaffolds. We have confirmed that the printing precision is greater than 99% and the printing time is decreased by half. The suggested solutions proved its validity through experiments and showed satisfactory results.

Objective: This study aimed to identify the size distributions of particulate matter emitted during 3D printing according to operational conditions and estimate particle inhalation exposure doses at each respiratory region. Methods: Four types of printing filaments were selected: acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), polylactic acid (PLA), Laywood, and nylon. A fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printer was used for printing. Airborne particles between 10 nm and $10{\mu}m$ were measured before, during, and after printing using real-time monitors under extruder temperatures from 215 to $290^{\circ}C$. Inhalation exposures, including inhaled and deposited doses at the respiratory regions, were estimated using a mathematical model. Results: Nanoparticles dominated among the particles emitted during printing, and more particles were emitted with higher temperatures for all materials. Under all temperature conditions, the Laywood emitted the highest particle concentration, followed by ABS, PLA, and nylon. The particle concentration peaked for the initial 10 to 20 minutes after starting operations and gradually decreased with elapsed time. Nanoparticles accounted for a large proportion of the total inhaled particles in terms of number, and about a half of the inhaled nanoparticles were estimated to be deposited in the alveolar region. In the case of the mass of inhaled and deposited dose, particles between 0.1 and $1.0{\mu}m$ made up a large proportion. Conclusion: The number of consumers using 3D printers is expected to expand, but hazardous emissions such as thermal byproducts from 3D printing are still unclear. Further studies should be conducted and appropriate control strategies considered in order to minimize human exposure.
