Abstract

This project is about a study on the parts produce using silicon rubber mould. This study based on Rapid Prototyping (RP) concept where RP model named Master Pattern is designed. Design is done using (CAD/ CAM) modeling software system for 3D modeling and analysis. The Master Pattern consists of shape and features of triangular and circular protrusion as well as triangular and circular hollow cavity and the part features consists of sections with draft angle were designed using CAD software. This study investigates the surface roughness, dimensional accuracy, flatness and straightness of the products produced from the mould. Appropriate measuring equipment is later used for quality testing. Method used to obtain quality is study at metrology laboratory. The dimensional accuracy of the products was measured using a Digital Vernier Calliper. The Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) is used to measure the flatness and straightness. The Mitutoyo CV 500 Contour Measuring Instrument is used so measured the surface finish of the products show. There are significant effect on surface finish, dimensional accuracy and flatness as more products were produced using the silicone mould.
