| Research Abstract |
Considering the method to form various models conveniently, many methods of forming were tried and developed. But monolithic forming of complex structures was exceedingly difficult. It was necessary to introduce a new system of forming, efficient, inexpensive and convenient. To improve such conditions, we proposed a unique method on the formation of a solid model by stacking cross-sectional layers without a mold.Each layer was fabricated b y extrusion of the fluid material ( silicone rubber ) by using dispenser system. Dispenser was manipulated by the robot arm controlled by a computer. To stack a bit steadily, the angle of extruding was controlled by the forming stage. T o form an unstable model, setting the forming stage upper and extruding from lower to upper ( stacking a layer downward ), we named that " Downward Formation ".In case that a solid model had a stable cross section to form, by inclination g the forming stage, considering that plane as a cross section for extruding, we named that " Stable Plane Formation ". This system improved efficiency in forming various models.
