The speed at which products are developed and released to market is tightly linked to profitability and market share. Hence, many companies are still in a desperate need of real Rapid Tooling (RT) technologies which can really help to expedite their prototype tooling and pre -production tooling for injection molding. Many other companies that have been very skeptical of RT technologies developed so far are working on Hybrid Tooling (HT) that can really meet the market standards. With the conviction that HT can be a reliable alternative for current RT technologies, this paper describes the experimentation how HT process has been being successfully established and effectively applied with typical case studies. Through the experimentation, Ceramic-filled HT was found to be aptly suited for the low grade mold, and Metal HT was found to be aptly suited for the medium volume mold both in terms of the lead time, dimensional accuracy, and tooling cost.

Mahalanobis Taguchi System (MTS) is a pattern information technology, which has been used in different diagnostic applications make quantitative decisions by constructing a multivariate measurement scale using data analytic methods without any assumption

CC 프로세스는 부가 구성물들뿐만이 아니라 전체구조물을 자동화로 만드는 것을 목적으로 한다, 이런 목적을 위하여, 새로운 Trowel 메카니즘이 3D 자유형상을 만들기 위해서 기본적으로 필요하다. 이 논문은 선회하는 Side towel을 사용하여 3D 자유곡면의 제작에 대한 기초적인 조사 및 개념을 보여준다. 특히, ceramics 재료를 이용하여 실험과 개발과정, 및 장래의 적용범위가 상세히 설명된다.

  “Getting to market first” is extremely critical in this competitive business environment. The speed at which products are developed and released to market is tightly linked to profitability and market share. Many companies that have been very skeptical

이 논문은 CC 프로세스의 movable side trowel 효과를 연구하기 위한 실험과 모델링을 제시한다. FEA simulation을 이용하여 우리는 movable side trowel의 효과와 움직임에 대한 기초적인 이해를 얻어냈다. 단면의 side trowel 보다 양면의 side trowel이 실제의 3D 형상을 만드는 동안에 층간의 최적의 결합을 만들어 준다는 면에서 가장 적합하다는 것을 알아냈다. 우리의 실험이 위의 결과를 입증하였다.

The Contour Crafting(CC) process, which has been developed at the University of Southern California, aims at automated construction of whole houses as well as sub-components. For this purpose, new trowel mechanism is basically needed in order to fabricate the true 3D shape. This paper presents our concepts and initial investigation of 3D free form fabrication using the pivoting side trowel. Specifically, the status of research and development of the processand experiments with ceramics materials, and its potential application areas are detailed.

본 논문은 Contour Crafting(CC) 프로세스의 압출과 적층 단계에서 물질 흐름의 형태를 연구하기 위한 실험과 모델링을 보여준다. 특히, 실험재료로써 진흙을 이용한 압출과 적층 메커니즘을 이해하기 위하여 기초적인 유한성분분석(FEA)을 실행하였다. FEA 시뮬레이션을 이용한, CC의 성능에 있어서 압출구멍의 기하학적인 효과에 대한 분명하고 기본적인 이해를 하게 되었다. 네모난 형상이 원하는 외부 표면특성을 만드는 것뿐만 아니라, 그리고 층간에
