특수체육에서의 3D 프린팅 기술 적용 가능성 탐색과 실제

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore the applicability in the research of adapted physical activity based on the merits and characteristics of 3D printing technology, which is considered as one of the core technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and to provide the basic data taken to make new approaches related to it. To this end, the concepts and the cases of practical usage of 3D printing-related technologies, including 3D printing, 3D scanning, and 3D modeling are introduced. Accordingly, first, the areas in which 3D printing technology is applied in adapted physical activity is divided into the usage in everyday life, entertainment, and the field of competition and the possibilities were presented afterwards. and then, the practical examples of application were proposed related to each categories. In detail, First, the production of customized products and devices was explained with 3D printed personalized insoles for people with cerebral palsy to help their gait. Second, the case of the 3D printed bicycle foothold developed by Seoul assistive device center was presented. Third, the design of the new equipment was explained with an example of building a universally designed hand cycle with 3D modeling. Last but not least, the cases of reproducing the binding joint of a damaged mono-ski and developing the linkage of bi-ski outrigger were the exemplification of manufacturing the parts of adaptive ski equipment. 3D printing technology which displays its strength in multi-item, low-volume production can be useful in the research of adapted physical activity where there are various situations and individual needs of different subjects, thus modification is the key. Through this study, the continuity in the research regarding the usage of 3D printing technology in adapted physical activity is highly anticipated.
