Abstract

Additive Manufacturing (AM) process able to fabricate functional parts which have complex geometries as well as multi-materials and able to fabricate optimized geometries with good strength. Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is one of the AM technologies that used in this project to fabricate the end-used part. FDM machine fabricate prototypes or end-used parts layer by layer and the strength of the parts have good tensile strength. However, cost of fabrication is costly and thus raw materials used have to reduce in order to reduce the cost. Topology optimization enables to optimize the mass or cost by optimize the geometry of the parts. In this project, there are ten specimens of each dogbone and bracket will be fabricated using CubePro Trio 3D Printer. The mechanical properties of the non-optimized part and optimized part will be observed and analyzed. Furthermore, Finite Element Analysis (FEA) that issued to validate the data collected to compare the behavior of the parts.
