Abstract

The purpose of this project is to develop a prototype of vertical milling machine educational kit.Vertical milling machine is an equipment used in machining process of using rotary cutters to remove material from a workpiece by advancing in a direction at an angle with the axis of the tool.In this project,vertical milling machine will be built by using various 3D printing methods to assess rapid prototyping process capability.Rapid Prototyping technologies have a various types that commonly used in industry.In rapid prototyping,there are many kinds of material used to produce the product or in details;to produce prototype.The methods that used to build this machine by using three methods only such as Stereolithography (SLA),Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), and Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM).The selection methods for finished part are important in order to choose the best material that should be used for 3D printing in order to get a high quality prototype and to know the capability of the 3D printing methods.The selection methods that should be known and consider such as dimensional accuracy and surface finish of each parts. Based on the study of selection material was found that it necessary in order to choose the best material to get the strong product and not fragile.Finally,the prototype of vertical milling machine are successfully being produced using the best methods and it can be function to rotate the movement of X,Y and Z axis.Then,the process of evaluating capability of the 3D printing methods has been achieved by using Surface Roughness Tester Machine and vernier caliper.
