Abstract

The design and manufacturing of mould in Rapid Manufacturing represent a significant link to the accuracy, durability, finishing and the amount of parts that the mould can duplicate. One of the main problems with RTV Silicone mould is to determine how long the mould can sustain before breaking down. This research is about Life cycle and sustainability of RTV Silicone mould that will look at the process in developing the RTV Silicone mould, the dimensional accuracy of the duplicate parts and also the factors that affect the longevity and sustainability of RTV silicon rubber mould. Pilot sampling has been done on 7 samples to obtain a stable data and to familiarize with the method of data collection. After that, 30 parts were produced from this mould and measurements are taken for each of the parts. It was found that the more the mould duplicate the part, the dimensional accuracy of the part tend to loose.
