Abstract

The additive manufacturing is one of the technologies that can fabricate or build a part in more efficiency way and at lower costs. The main objective for this project is to repair, upgrade, enhance or modified the BFB 3D Printer by using engineering design (ED) approach. The BFB 3D Touch 3D Printer available in Lab Rapid Protoryping, JTKP, UTeM is currently down for 7 years. The cost to repair the similar type of machine three dimensional printer is high. Therefore, this study is carry out to overcome the challenges. The study is started with formulation by selecting the best design solution. Besides that, the the test model was printed for the analysis of dimensional accuracy and surface finish. The test model is refering from the previous study as a reference. The dimensional accuracy and the surface finish needed to be checked by printing a testing model of the 3D printer comparing to another 3D Printer. The result is not the best and the building time is not the same as actual time because the 3D Printer need more time for heating the nozzle. The BFB 3D Touch Printer is not suitable for doing prototype but suitable for doing studying and demonstration on the studies.
