In this paper, we aim to improve the output quality of a food 3D printer through optimized component design and implementation. Existing 3D printers produce customized outputs according to consumer needs, but have problems with output speed and poor quality. In this paper, we aim to solve this problem through optimized design of unit parts such as the extruder, nozzle, guide, and external case. Fusion 360 was used for element design, and in the performance evaluation of the implemented system, the average precision was 0.06mm, which is higher than the non-repeatable precision of ±0.1㎜ of other products, and the feed speed of the existing system was evaluated to be more than twice as fast, from 70mm/s to 140mm/s. In the future, we plan to continuously research output elements that can produce texture and color and device control methods for convenience.

Research has been conducted on a wide variety of 3D printer circular fin heads. In this study, we proposed a sequence and method for a more efficient mesh study in the CFD model to calculate the Nusselt number of the circular fin head of an FDM 3D printer using the Taguchi method, sensitivity, and ANOVA. As a result, the CFD model to calculate the Nusselt number of the circular fin head of an FDM 3D printer has high sensitivity and contribution in the order of Base target mesh size, Prism layer number, and Prism layer thickness. We propose to increase work efficiency by performing mesh optimization in the order of factors with high sensitivity to level changes.

In this study, the relationship between the color of the pigment added to the plastic resin and the size of the fractured part of the specimen was confirmed when processing ABS plastic tensile specimens using a sealed 3D printer. Through the test, it was confirmed that the fracture dimension existed in the range of 13.104 to 13.138 ㎜ and there was no significant difference in dimension according to the color of the additive, and the null hypothesis was adopted. In addition, it was confirmed that a significant difference occurred in the order of red, black, white, and green colors.

This research was conducted to reduce the defect rate caused by nozzle clogging of printing heads used in binder jet 3D printers. The binder jet 3D printing technology may adhere to the printing head nozzle by dispersing powder due to mechanical operation such as transferring the printing head and supplying powder, and may cause nozzle clogging by natural curing at the nozzle end depending on the type of binder used. To solve this problem, this study created a cleaning module exclusively for printing heads to check whether the durability of printing heads is improved through analysis of printing results before and after using the cleaning module. To this end, this research used a thermal bubble jet printing head, and the used powder was studied using gypsum powder.

Among the Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies, the Binder-Jetting printing technology is a method of spraying an adhesive on the surface of powder and laminate layer by layer. Recently, this technique has become a major issue in the production of large casting products such as ship-building, custom vehicles and so on. In this study, we performed research to make actual mold castings and increase mechanical property by using special sand and water-based binders. For use as a mold, it has a strength of more than 3MPa and permeability. Various experiments were carried out to obtain suitable them. The major process parameters were binder jetting volume, binder types, layer thickness and heat treatment condition. As a result of this study, the binder drop quantity was measured to be about 60 pico-liter, layer thickness was 100μm and the heat treatment condition was measured about 1,000℃ and compressive strength were measured to be more than 5MPa. The optimum condition of this experiment was established through actual casting of aluminum. The equipment used in this study was a Freeforms T400 model (SFS Co., Ltd.), and the printing area of 420 * 300 * 250mm and resolution of 600dpi can be realized.

Recently 3d printer industry has two demands. first is color 3d printing. second is mass production using 3d printer that has large bed. According to previous studies, 3D printed objects have different weights depending on filament colors. 3D printed tensile specimens with filaments of various colors were checked to see they had the same weight. If so, we wanted to see it was statistically significant. As a result, we found that the weight of 3D printed objects was statistically significantly different depending on the filament color. The average weight of 3d printed objects is: Black(8.63g), Blue(8.58g), Yellow(8.53g), White(8.48g), Natural(8.46g), Green (8.45g), Red(8.42g).

The SLA 3d printer is the first of the commercial 3D printer. The 3D printed output is printed hanging on the bed that move to the upper position. Sandblasted bed is used to prevent layer shift. If sandblasting is wrong, the 3D printed output is layer shifted. For this reason, 3D printer manufacturing companies inspect the bed surface. However, the sandblasted surface has variety of irregular shapes and craters, so it is difficult to establish a quality control standard. To solve problems, this paper presents a standardized sandblasting histogram and threshold. We present a filter that can increase the classification rate.

In this experiment, the error according to the measurement method was analyzed for the length, angle, radius of curvature, and diameter of the measurement system analysis using a profile projector device used in the field. One-way analysis was performed on each data tested 30 times using a statistical technique. Through the experiment, it was found that an error occurred in each data when measuring the angle according to the measurement method, and the null hypothesis that no error occurred when measuring the length, inside dia and radius was established.

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), also known as Fused Deposition Modeling (FFF), is the most widely used type of 3D printing at the consumer level. The FDM 3D printer extracts thermoplastic filaments such as ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) and Polyactive Acid (PLA) through heated nozzles to dissolve the material. It works by applying layers of plastic to build platforms. Various demands for 3D printers increased, and among these demands, there was also a demand for various filament colors. ABS, one of the main filamentous materials for 3D printers, is easy to color in a variety of colors and has been studied to meet the needs of these users. Through quantitative measurements in this work, we confirm that color differences remain depending on the difference in placement on the 3D printer bad. In addition, the temperature of the specimen was measured at the start of 3D printing, during manufacturing, and at the completion of manufacturing, and the inner and central sides remained similar, but the outer sides were 5 degrees lower. These temperature differences accumulate as layers pile up, resulting in differences in weight or color, which in turn meet consumer and producer needs in the 3D printer industry.

The purpose of this study was to establish the optimum experimental conditions by investigating the relationship between the nine experimental conditions using Taguchi technique. Through experiments, we found that the weight, thickness, and length of the sample were most affected by the angle at which the sample was installed, while the width had the largest influence on the sample's x-axis and the inner diameter. It was confirmed. Therefore, through this experiment, it was confirmed that the installation angle of the product had the greatest influence on the error occurrence of the product during 3D printer processing.

In the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, Various attempts are being made to converge new industries with IT industry to find new growth engines in the field of IT, maximizing efficiency in terms of productivity. 3D printers are also related to this, and various studies have been conducted worldwide to utilize them in the construction industry. At present, there is an active effort to study atypical structures using 3D printers. The most widely used method is the use of glass panels, however, the additional cost of the manufacturing process and thus the overall project cost cannot be ignored. In addition, the construction of the curvature of the existing two-way curved surface in the conventional flat joint method is not suitable for implementing an amorphous shape. In this paper, we propose an optimized shape through Abaqus analysis of various shapes of Space Truss interior using 3D printing technology using polymer.

FDM 3D Printer is used in maker space for mass production by the maker. Makers desire to manufacture products in a variety of colors using ABS Filaments. The purpose of this study is to identify the relation between the color of resin and each position on the bed. So, when printed using the 3D Printer, we found out the difference in the colors that it appears depending on the position of the bed. To see the difference in color, basic, blue, yellow, white, and black were selected and the bed plate was divided into three sections. Specimens were measured to obtain delta E values between each sections by the chromatic differential system. Obtained delta values were analyzed by the NBS system. As a result, the delta E value of black was found to correspond to “Appreciable”. In most cases, delta E values between the middle and the outer or the inner and the outer was greater than values between the middle and the inner. Using Infrared Thermal Camera, We found that the color difference relates 3D printing positions and temperatures. As a result, the 3D printing bed positions should be considered when 3D printing mass production.
