The aspherical lens was designed to be able to array a focal point. For this reason, it has very curved surface. The aspherical lens is fabricated by injection molding or diamond turning machine. With the aspherical lens, tool marks and surface roughness affect the optical characteristics, such as transmissivity. However, it is difficult to polish free form surface shapes uniformly with conventional methods. Therefore, in this paper, the ultra-precision polishing method with MR fluid was used to polish an aspherical lens with 4-axis position control systems. A Tool path and polishing mechanism were developed to polish the aspherical lens shape. An MR polishing experiment was performed using a generated tool path with a PMMA aspherical lens after the turning process. As a result, surface roughness was improved from $R_a=40.99nm$, $R_{max}=357.1nm$ to $R_a=4.54nm$, $R_{max}=35.72nm$. Finally, the MR polishing system can be applied to the finishing process of fabrication of the aspherical lens.

The continuing demand for increasingly slimmer and brighter liquid crystal display (LCD) panels has led to an increased focus on the role of light guide panels (LGPs) or optical films that are used to obtain diffuse, uniform light from the backlight unit (BLU). The most basic process in the production of such BLU components is the micromachining of V-shaped grooves. Thus, given the current trend, micromachining of V-shaped grooves is expected to play increasingly important roles in today's manufacturing technology. LCD BLUs comprise various optical elements such as a LGP, diffuser sheet, prism sheet, and protector sheet with V-shaped grooves. High-aspect-ratio patterns are required to reduce the number of sheets and enhance light efficiency, but there is a limit to the aspect ratio achievable for a given material and cutting tool. Therefore, this study comprised a series of experimental evaluations conducted to determine the machining limit in microcutting V-shaped grooves on electroless nickel plated die materials when using single-crystal diamond tools with point angles of $20^{\circ}-80^{\circ}$. Cutting performance was evaluated at various cutting speeds and depths of cut using different machining methods and machine tools. The experimental results are that V-shaped patterns with angles of $80^{\circ}$ or up can be realized regardless of the machining conditions and equipment. Moreover, the feed rate has little effect on machinability, and it is thought that the fly-cut method is more efficient for shallow patterns.

PURPOSE. The study compared the color change, lightness, and translucency of hybrid resin ceramics exposed to toothbrush abrasion and surface treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Four hybrid ceramics [Lava Ultimate (LU), Vita Enamic (EN), Shofu HC (SH), and Crystal Ultra (CU)] were compared with a glass-ceramic (Vita Mark II) control. One hundred and twenty specimen blocks were prepared using a precision saw machine. Specimens in each material were divided into four subgroups based on the surface treatment (polishing or staining) and a storage medium (water or citric acid). Simulated tooth brushing with a mixture of 100 RDA (radioactive abrasives) with 0.3 ml distilled water was used for 3650 cycles (7300 strokes) for each specimen. Measurements for the color change, lightness, and translucency were measured after toothbrushing using a spectrophotometer. Statistical analysis compared outcomes using paired t-test, ANOVA, and Tukey post hoc test. RESULTS. The maximum color change was identified in SH (stained acid) [1.44 (0.40)], whereas the lowest was identified in EN (polished water) [0.66 (0.16)] material. The maximum and minimum loss of surface translucency was observed in SH (polished water) [12.3 (0.52)] and EN (stained acid) [6.5 (0.55)] specimens, respectively. Lastly, loss of lightness was the highest in VM (polished acid) [69 (0.95)], whereas the lowest was observed in CU (stained water) [56.7 (0.86)]. CONCLUSION. The comparison presented a significant effect of toothbrush abrasion on translucency and lightness of the hybrid resin ceramics. Color change was not significantly influenced irrespective of the storage medium employed. Surface staining demonstrated the preservation and stability of color and optical properties under the influence of toothbrush abrasion and chemical trauma.

본 논문에서는 생화 장식용 꽃 받침대를 자동으로 제작하기 위하여 고주파 융착기를 사용하여 생화 장식용 꽃 받침대 자동 제작 시스템을 개발하였다. 수동으로 제작되어지는 생화 꽃 받침은 소비자의 수요를 충족시키지 못하여 자동 제작시스템을 통해 생산성을 높이기 위하여 개발을 진행하였다. 생화 장식용 꽃 받침대는 플라스틱으로 이루어진 꽃 받침대인 캡과 캡을 지지하는 부직포로 이루어진 밑판으로 구성된다. 캡을 고주파 융착기로 이송하기 위해 가이드를 설계하였으며 가이드의 재질 및 형상에 따른 실험을 통해 최적의 가이드를 개발하였다. 전체 시스템을 제작하기 위하여 가이드와 악세서리의 무게를 정하고 그에 적합한 모터와 풀리를 계산을 통하여 도출해 냈다. 자동 제작 시스템의 제어는 PCB 기판을 기반으로 하여 안정성 및 보안성을 높였으며 리모컨을 사용하여 수동모드와 자동모드를 사용할 수 있도록 하였다. 제작 후 시스템의 이송정밀도와 반복 정밀도를 실험해본 결과 이송정밀도는 X축 2.7mm Y축 1mm로 측정 되었고 반복 정밀도는 0mm로 측정되어 생화 장식 꽃 받침대를 제작하는데 문제가 없다는 것을 확인하였다. 생산성을 확인해본 결과 1일 8시간 기준 수동 제작시 35개를 생산하고 자동 생산 시 70개를 생산하여 200%의 생산성을 높인 것을 확인하였다.

지르코니아는 다양한 공정과정을 거쳐서 제작되며, 각각의 요소는 최종 보철물의 물성에 영향을 줄 수 있다. 특히 밀링과정과 소결과정이 모두 지르코니아 보철물의 최종 완성도(integrity)에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 밀링머신은 대부분 초정밀 5축 가공방식을 채택하고 있으며 어떤 방식을 사용하고 밀링기구를 어떻게 관리하는가에 따라서도 결과가 달라진다. 밀링블록은 절삭의 효율성과 심미재현성에 따라 선택하는데 물성의 변화를 야기할 수 있음은 주의해야 한다. 소결방식은 입자성장과 광학적 특성에 영향을 미칠 수 있는데 속도를 조절하는 최근의 방식에 대해서는 추가적인 연구가 동반되어야 정확한 평가가 이루어질 수 있다. 소결온도 뿐 아니라 온도 유지시간도 최종결과물에 영향을 줄 수 있다.
