Original Abstract Submitted
a method for manufacturing a lightweight part including a porous metal matrix having a functional resin bonded thereto is disclosed. the method includes a porous metal matrix preparation step of preparing a porous metal matrix; a base layer deposition step in which while a nozzle of a fdm (fused deposition modeling) 3d printer moves along a first predetermined movement coordinate path, the nozzle heats and extrudes a resin filament toward a surface of the porous metal matrix to infiltrate a molten resin into closed pores or depressions in the surface of the porous metal matrix, thereby forming a base layer bonded to the surface of the porous metal matrix; and a build layer deposition step in which while the nozzle moves along the first set movement coordinate path or a predetermined second set movement coordinate path different from the first set movement coordinate path, the nozzle heats and extrudes the resin filament toward the base layer such that one or more flat or curved build layers are deposited on the base layer, wherein the resin filament is made of a functional resin material.
