Abstract

Now days, the usage of the latest technology such as rapid prototyping machine have been use in order to create prototype. One of the categories in rapid prototyping is 3D printing. This 3D prototyping are use in developing prototype in a systematic, fast and easies method. The materials that have been used in this prototyping development are powder and binding. The basic material cost is expensive in the market. Based on this reason, this study are made to find new alternative to change the powder with using hydroxyapatite (HA) material whish came from the cow bone. This cow bone will be crushed into powder size using a couple of machine. Then, it will be used in the 3D printer machine as the relay to the actual powder for research. Couple of parameter will be fixed to analyze the surface roughness and dimensional accuracy of the prototype which came from the crush powder and for example using the build orientation, layer thickness and the speed. The couple of binder will be used to analyze the most suitable binder for this powder. After the prototypes have been fabricated, it will be test by using surface roughness machine to analyze the surfaces. The application of coordinate measuring machine will be used in this study to measure the accurate of the dimension and also the suitable parameter. Data collection will be used to determine which one of the prototypes has good surface roughness and dimensional accuracy.
