Abstract

This project is dine to redesign and manufacture the archery recurve bow riser using Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) with improve in weight strength and material selection. A method of coating the prototype using carbon fibre was used to enhance the strength of the riser. However, there were slight changes, due to inappropriate method of coating to the prototype. Vacuum bagging method was used to stack the carbon fibre composite material into multiple layers, with different set of layers. This then was tested using Universal Testing Machine (UTM) to test the strength. It is found that the layer of composite can withstand 0.1 KN of load. Thus, reinforcing using the material is suitable for it is light, easy to shape and strong.
