산업용 임의형상제작(Solid Freeform Fabrication)시스템의 공정변수 최적화

Abstract

This paper presents experimental optimization of process parameters for a newly developed SFF(Solid Freeform Fabrication) system. Two critical process parameters, layering thickness and curing period, which have a large effect on the quality of the product, are optimized through experiments. Specimens are produced using layering thicknesses of 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, and 160㎛ and curing periods of 0, 10, 20, and 30 minutes under the same processing conditions, i.e., build-room temperature, feed-room temperature, roller speed, laser power, scan speed, and scan spacing. The specimens are tested to compare and analyze performance indices such as thickness accuracy, flatness, stress-strain characteristics, and porosity. The experimental result indicates that layering thickness of 80~100㎛ and curing period of 20~30 minutes are recommended for the developed industrial SFF system
