Cure Depth Control For Complex 3d Microstructure Fabrication In Dynamic Mask Projection Microstereolithography, Jae-Won Choi, Ryan Wicker, Seok-Hyun Cho, Chang-Sik Ha, Seok-Hee Lee
Dr. Jae-Won Choi
– The paper's aim is to explore a method using light absorption for improving manufacturing of complex, three‐dimensional (3D) micro‐parts with a previously developed dynamic mask projection microstereolithography (MSL) system. A common issue with stereolithography systems and especially important in MSL is uncontrolled penetration of the ultraviolet light source into the photocrosslinkable resin when fabricating down‐facing surfaces. To accurately fabricate complex 3D parts with down‐facing surfaces, a chemical light absorber, Tinuvin 327™ was mixed in different concentrations into an acrylate‐based photocurable resin, and the solutions were tested for cure depths and successful micro‐part fabrication.

Dr. Jae-Won Choi
The use of direct-write (DW) in the fabrication of conductive structures offers dramatic benefits over traditional technologies in terms of low-cost, print-on-demand conformal manufacturing. This DW process can be combined with direct-cure (DC) process as one-step manufacturing of conducting elements, whereas conventional methods need a manufacturing process of conducting elements followed by a relatively long time post-curing/baking process. A hybrid technology combined with direct-write/cure (DWC) and projection microstereolithography (PμSL) is presented in this work. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were dispersed in a photopolymer solution to introduce conductivity. The developed PμSL was used to create 3D structures, and DWC of conductive photopolymers …

Slice Overlap-Detection Algorithm For Process Planning In Multiple-Material Stereolithography, Ho-Chan Kim, Jae-Won Choi, Eric Macdonald, Ryan Wicker
Dr. Jae-Won Choi
Recently, a multiple-material stereolithography (MMSL) system was introduced, which included the novel feature of stacking different photocurable resins to produce a multiple-material part. This process is capable of fabricating intricately detailed parts with smooth surface finish and internal structures of various colors. However, the MMSL system requires a washing process when switching materials, and this additional step increases the fabrication time and also introduces deformations in the build structure as registration errors accumulate. Consequently, reducing the number of material changeovers in this process is a priority, and the minimum number of changeovers is imposed in part by the sweep interference …

Dr. Jae-Won Choi
A biomimetic tactile sensor (BTS) is developed from strips of electrically conductive carbon nanotubes (CNTs) mixed in a polymer matrix that is embedded within a flexible polyurethane shell. The mechanical compliance of the BTS is similar to the human fingertip. Experiments are performed which show that the BTS can be used to detect slip and the direction that slip occurs by examining the relative timing among force signals from adjacent strips of CNTs and the frequency content of the force signals. The BTS can also detect forces applied at distinct points on the surface of the BTS.

Multiple Fabrications Of Sacrificial Layers To Enhance The Dimensional Accuracy Of Microstructures In Maskless Projection Microstereolithography, In-Baek Park, Jae-Won Choi, Young-Myoung Ha, Seok-Hee Lee
Dr. Jae-Won Choi
Microstereolithography (MSL) is a promising technology for producing fully three-dimensional microstructures with overhanging features and high-aspect ratios. In conventional stereolithography (SL), a layer thickness of ≈50–100 μm is obtained by using a recoater. However, a recoater cannot be used in MSL, where the layer thickness is typically ≈10 μm or less, since resin flow may break or distort the pre-fabricated layers. In most MSL systems, the resin surface (or layer thickness) is controlled by a free surface technique that employs resin gravity to refresh the resin surface over a given settling time. In addition, a sacrificial layer must be fabricated …
