Abstract

Nowadays Rapid Prototyping (RP) is widely used around the world such as in engineering, medical, industrial and etc. Beginning in the early 80's somewhere in Europe and U.S, their engineer had developed a technology that called as time compression technology (TCT) where this technology is developed to compress product or parts time to market. As the time goes by and the RP technology grows rapidly it now can be divided into 3 categories which are Solid based RP, Liquid based RP, and Powder based RP. This research is concerning about Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) which is in Solid Base RP category. Generally information, FDM used AcrylonitrileButadiene- Styrene (ABS) as its material to form prototype. The purpose of using ABS as the material FDM technology is because ABS offering the best mechanical properties and suitable with FDM processes compared to other thermoplastics. For an example, ABS is offering a good impact strength, good shock absorbance, and lighter than metal. The general properties of ABS have been determined a long time ago by chemist for that reason determining the greatest strength of ABS material after been fabricated through FDM is the main priority in the research. Taken into account is FDM machine parameter as manipulate variable such as extrusion head speed, temperature, bead width, raster orientation, air gap, and model plane of extrusion.
