A worm screw is widely used in a geared motor unit for motion conversion from rotation to linear motion. For mass production of a high quality worm, the current roll forming process is substituted with the milling cutter process. Since the milling cutter process enables the integration of all machining operations of worm manufacturing on a CNC(Computer Numerical Control) lathe, productivity can be remarkably improved. The tooling system for side milling cutter on the CNC lathe to improve machinability is developed. However, the runout of spindle and cutting tips are important factors to be considered for producing high quality worms because the tooling system has multiple tips. In this study, surface roughness variations accuracy according to runout was investigated in side milling cutter for worm screw. The result shows by simulation and experiment.

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. VLM-ST has the innate advantages by virtue of its working principle: high building speed, low cost for introduction and maintenance of VLM-ST apparatus, little staircase surface irregularities of parts. Despite these advantages in VLM-ST, the surface roughness of VLM-ST parts is still inadequate to be used as RP master patterns for rapid tooling (RT). This paper describes the systematic and effective methodology to remove the laminated pattern and improve the surface roughness for VLM-ST parts. From the results of surface finishing of VLM-ST parts, it can be seen that the laminated pattern is completely removed and the surface characteristics such as surface roughness, surface hardness, and paintability are improved.

Reverse engineering enables a fast creation of CAD model from an existing part without any technical drawing or digital data. This method of data acquisition is necessary in several industrial applications when the modification of an existing product design has to be performed and verified afterwards. In this paper, the surface of an existing ship propeller was measured by a tactile measuring system and the acquired point data of the surface were used for modeling of a solid model in CAD system. By using LOM and casting processes, an aluminum propeller for functional test was manufactured and then its accuracy was measured by a laser scanner and compared with the origin릴 CAD data. As the results show, the use of LOM as a rapid prototyping process and casting as a secondary process delivers a functional prototype propeller which can be used for test purposes.

Spindle units of machine tool are very important part in the manufacturing area. Recently high speed machining has become the main issue of metal cutting. To develop high speed machine tools, a lot of studies have been carried out for high speed spindle. Due to increase of the rotational speed of the spindle, there has been renewal of interest in tooling system of high speed spindle. This paper concerns the static stiffness in the main spindle interface according to variation of clamping force, rotational speed and tool holder shank. Finite element analysis is performed by using a commercial code ANSYS workbench. From the results, it has been shown that the geometry of tool holder shank is mostly influence on the variation of the static stiffness in the main spindle interface.

SL(Stereolithography) part is made by piling up thin layers which causes the stair stepping effect at the surface of SL parts. This effect brings about excessive surface roughness and requires additional post-process finishing such as abrasive techniques that are detrimental to part geometry and time consuming. Hence a wax coating and grinding post-process is proposed to improve the surface quality of SL part. The wax that has suitable properties for the proposed post-process is coated all over the part surface. By grinding the thin layer of coated on the SL part only, the surface roughness can be improved without any damage on the part. From the experimental results, This approach is considered to be very practical fur die casting with RT(Rapid Tooling) techniques.

In this study, manufacturing of polymer master, PDMS(poly dimethylsiloxane) transfer mold, and mold insert was investigated for laser LIGA(LIthography Calvanoformung Abformtechnik). Initially, ablation by excimer laser radiation was used successfully to make 3-D microstructure of PET. After then, the PDMS transfer mold was replicated using ablated PET. Finally, epoxy resin tooling on replicated PDMS transfer mold was executed for making mold insert. From these facts we can conclude that excimer laser ablation of polymer and fabricaiton of PDMS transfer mold are reasonable tools to substitute for X-ray lithography of LIGA process in microstructuring.

All manufactured parts and tooling have unavoidable variations from their nominal shapes. During assembly, compliant parts are further deformed by relatively rigid assembly tooling. Lack of Knowledge regarding variations and deformations often results in expensive problems. Most current computer-aided design systems are based on ideally sized, ideally located and rigid geometry. This paper proposes a model for the assembly of compliant, non-ideal part. We start by defining tolerance analysis as the process of simulation the variation of a product or a subassembly when given the tolerance of required parts. Analysis is then done by finite element analysis and using the material properties of the actual parts to be assembled. Using the result, estimate the weld process.

Shearing, including blanking, trimming, piercing, etc, is one of the most frequently used processes in sheet metal manufacturing. In this paper, an individual set of tooling with an in-die sensor was designed and precisely fabricated to carry out the experiment for the shearing process investigation. Through various experiments, it has been examined the influence of process parameters such as clearance, edge material properties and pad configuration. Since the tension between the part and the scrap increases when the clearance increases, the clearance should be selected properly in order to reduce the burr height. Also removal of the lower pad makes the sheared surface worse and the shearing system unstable. The shearing force increases when the clearance decreases and the friction of the tooling material decreases. Dynamic reaction force is also important to obtain the fine sheared surfaces.

Recently more complex geometric shapes, including freeform surfaces, are adopted for the design of products to emphasize style or beauty. Modeling of these products is extremely difficult or often impossible. Reverse engineering is the latest technology that can solve the problem by generating CAD models from the physical mockups or prototype models. Reverse engineering uses the coordinate measuring machine(CMM) to get the shape data of products. CMM is limited by the size of the product; therefore it must need the feature to solve it. The tooling-ball which is generally used for feature has difficulty in being used for soft products. Besides, the higher the accuracy of the tooling-ball is, the more expensive its cost is. This study will develop the feature of high accuracy without additional tools and compare the difference of accuracy by it.
