Abstract

Nowadays, fabricating 3D shapes in commercial application using rapid prototyping technologies was become one of interest. Creating an accurate model for these objects by hand is extremely time consuming and difficult. By the technology of prototyping field, ZPrinter 310 plus are the one of the 3D Printing machine that has been used for producing 3D model directly from CAD model. The prototype produced by integrated printing function using powder and binder. As consequences, there have several preparations and parameters that must be consider in term of obtaining the optimum result. This study deals with effect of different parameter implementations by using bamboo powder in 3D Printer. The objective of this study is to study the feasibility of the 3D printer machine in producing prototypes when using bamboo powders as raw material with three different proposed binders, to apply different 3D-Printer parameter settings when building up prototypes and to study on the prototypes quality by implement surface roughness and dimensional accuracy testing. Data analysis will be conducted by using Minitab software. Taguchi method will be used in determining the best parameter settings and combinations to obtain the desirable result.
