In order to manufacture high-quality free-form concrete panel (FCP), it is necessary to analyze the limitations of free-form silicone mold (FSM) and conduct technology development research. Currently, the FSM used in FCP manufacture is classified into a side silicon mold(SSM) and a lower silicon mold(LSM). In this study, the limitations of each silicon mold were analyzed and solutions were proposed. In the case of side silicon mold, there is a limit to cannot supporting the side pressure of concrete. Therefore, a mold stacking method was proposed, and at the same time, a process of correcting the movement value of the rod was proposed. In the case of the lower silicon mold, there is a limit to completely implementing the design shape. Therefore, a real-time scanning method and a process of displaying FCP shape coordinates were proposed. The results of this study are expected to be used as basic data for manufacturing high-quality FCP.

Free-form Concrete Panel(FCP) is each panel that composes the concrete exterior skin of Free-form building. FCPs contain curved surfaces, and FCPs have different curvature, size, and angles. In order to manufacture FCP, high technology is required, and it is currently difficult to manufacture it according to the design shape. In particular, many errors occur in the side shape of FCP. This is because when the side silicone mold is applied, it is installed without a coupling method between molds and support device. In this study, basic research was conducted to develop a side silicone mold support device to solve the above problems. We classified the required performance and derived the detailed requirements. Also, Based on this, we drew the basic design of the support device. We plans to conduct design improvement, mock-up making, and FCP manufacturing experiments through future research.

Free-form buildings are composed of different curved surfaces and panels with varying curvatures used for the exterior. Because free-form curved surfaces differ from those of conventional buildings, they serve as landmarks worldwide and generate economic and social profits. However, molds used to realize the curved surfaces of free-form buildings are typically single-use, resulting in construction waste and posing limitations such as environmental pollution and increased construction costs. To address this issue, current research is focused on developing reusable forms that precisely implement free-form curved surfaces. Among these approaches, the Free-form Concrete Panel (FCP) employs reusable silicone material as a mold. The silicone mold consists of a lower part and a side part, with both parts fixed together by friction due to the same material. However, during the concrete pouring process into the silicone mold, lateral pressure can cause shifting, reducing the precision of the FCP and resulting in defective panels. To address this challenge, this study introduces the use of iron powder in the lower part and magnets on the sides to secure the form using magnetic force.

In this study, the start-type molded material, silicone resin(RTV-3040) was used to develop a mold that is utilized for embossing pattern. After selecting a required pattern using the commercial package (Freeform), we examined whether this is applicable to components creating projective embossed side on the surface. We responded to products that require corrosive pattern, such as aluminum mold, by making the starting type when small amounts of components are developing. However, the development of silicone mold that is applied to corrosive pattern showed the possible reduction in time and cost.

Purpose: This study is a comparative analysis of the strain according to deposition in a constant temperature water bath after manufacturing ultraviolet (UV)-cured artificial teeth. Methods: As a control group, 10 ready-made artificial teeth were selected as the first molar on the right side of the maxilla (RT group). Silicone was used as a duplicate of the artificial denture teeth. Experimental teeth were prepared in two groups using the prepared silicone mold. In the first experimental group, the UV-cured resin was injected into the negative silicone, followed by irradiation with a UV-curing machine for 5 minutes (5M group). In the second experimental group, the UV-cured resin was injected into the negative silicone, and then irradiated for 30 minutes using a UV-curing machine (30M group). The one-way ANOVA was performed, and post-test was analyzed by Tukey. Results: When immersed in a water bath for 15 days, it was found to be -0.3% in the RT group, -0.6% in the 5M group, and -0.7% in the 30M group. The results revealed -0.2% in the RT group, 0.2% in the 5M group, and -0.2% in the 30M group when they were in the bath for 30 days. Conclusion: In the water bath, the swelling was greater when deposited for 1 to 15 days, but was less when deposited for 15 to 30 days.
