Abstract

The purpose of this research is to develop casting mould pattern (keris). A pattern is a form, template, or model which can be used to make or to generate another objects or parts of an object. The kris or keris is a distinctive, asymmetrical dagger endemic to Malaysia and Indonesia. Both a weapon and spiritual object, keris are often considered to have an essence or presence, with some blades possessing good luck, while other possess bad. The early function of keris is as a weapon to defend oneself, to preserve one’s life, and to function as a close range weapon. Preceding the development of culture and art, the shape of keris changed according to the need and its contribution to human’s life, among others it could indicate the social status of the owner of the Keris. Keris also functions as the symbol of power. The blade is made from different iron ores and often contains nickel. The ‘ukiran’ and the sheath are often made from wood. Usually, keris is produce using forging process. For this research, Rapid Prototyping chosen as a technology to produce the pattern meanwhile the process involved is 3D Printing .The product was drawn using SolidWork software. Then, the drawing was transferred to the rapid prototyping machine and the manufacturing process began. As the pattern produced, it will be used to produce the keris using the equipment provided at the FKP lab. Then, conclusion of the overall project is made in order to find out whether the objectives are achieved. Finally, design and process guidelines and procedures to producing pattern are documented..
