PublicationSustainability assessment of torchlight design: Identification of new design structure and material selection( 2021-05-03)
;Mansor Z. ;Ahmad S.A.S. ;Jui T.H. ;Faissal N.A. ;Rusdi N.M.Piah N.S.M.A common torchlight comprises of a lighting source fixed in a reflector and a clear lens, battery, switch and enclosed or protected body case. Based on the original design of this torchlight, customers are having problem to hold the torchlight due to poor grip and causing the torchlight easy to slip off and possibly get damaged when it falls into the water. The objectives of this project intend to improve the torchlight design to secure handling, maintenance, and to increase the durability of the torchlight against water using Àoat material which also enables the user to locate the torchlight in a short time. In conclusion, this study also identifies the possible environmental factors that assessed using sustainability tools to ensure the entire design structure will enhance the sustainability issue. Thus, based on the sustainability assessment, the float material able to apply for this purpose to achieve the objective, and the design concept is according to the customer requirement. -

PublicationOptimization parameter effects on the quality surface finish of the three-dimensional printing (3D-printing) fused deposition modeling (FDM) using RSM( 2019-07-30)
;Effendi M.S.M.Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is an additive manufacturing technology which is used to print the 3D (Three-Dimensional) object. It has relatively low surface qualities that will affect the performance of the printed part. Thus, this research has been done to analyze the selected parameter effect on the quality surface finish of the 3D printing objects and find the optimum response of processing parameters using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). In order to predict the surface roughness, three parameters have been chosen which are layer thickness, print speed and fill density. The relations among responses and process parameters are determined and their validity is proved using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Then, the response surface plots are analyzed to establish main factor effects and their interaction on responses. The confirmation experiment has been carried out with the response optimizer to get the optimum parameter of the surface finish quality. Based on the results obtained, the surface roughness is mainly affected by the layer thickness compared to the fill density and print speed. -
PublicationAnalysis performance on original Wing 2 HLK168 drone controller using DFMA approach( 2019-07-30)
;Farahin K.This project explores the design enhancements by applying the techniques of Manufacturing and Assembly Design (DFMA). This project explores the design enhancements by applying the techniques of Manufacturing and Assembly Design (DFMA). The drone control components were isolated to obtain data. By using the Boothroyd-Dewhurst method, the data obtained will be analyzed to verify the design efficiency during manual handling and manual insertion time. Using the Computer Aided Three-Dimensional Application (CATIA) software, the components of the original and improvement products were separated and drawn. The data next that have been generated by differentiate these two products is next been analysed. Through the analysis, the results tell that the design efficiency of enhancement product is better than the existing design. This is because of the reducing in number of parts, manual handling and manual insertion times and also due to the design costs. Finally, the improvement in the design of the drone control can meet the needs of consumers and may providing satisfaction to them. -
PublicationRedesign of bahulu production layout to improve the efficiency of process flow( 2019-07-30)
;Effendi M.S.M.This research presents the optimum efficiency improvement of process flow by redesigned the production layout using facility planning methods in a company producing traditional cakes which are bahulu that currently have bottleneck issue, inefficient flow and unnecessary excess movement between activities. The objectives of this study to improve the current plant layout by redesigned it with increasing the production efficiency and productivity of the company. To achieve this aim, there are several layouts generated using Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) and Graph-Based Theory (GBT) and the Efficiency Rate (ER) of each layout was calculated. The layout with the highest rate was then selected and validated by using WITNESS software. The result showed that the ER of the selected layout improved from 74.49% to 93.40% and also increased the productivity and reduced the processing time up to 10%. The described case study will show how the efficiency and productivity of a real manufacturing system can be improved by redesign layout. -

In addition, DFMA is used to minimising the quantity required, and SolidWorks@ software is applied to evaluate by comparing different materials and four environmental factors such as carbon footprint, water eutrophication, total energy consumption, air acidity as well as material financial impact. -
PublicationIrregular shape effect of brass and copper filler on the properties of Metal Epoxy Composite (MEC) for rapid tooling application( 2022)
;Safian Sharif ;Allan Rennie ;Mohd Azlan Suhaimi ;Abdellah El-hadj Abdellah ;Mohd Tanwyn Mohd KhushairiAurel Mihail TituDue to their low shrinkage and easy moldability, metal epoxy composites (MEC) are recognized as an alternative material that can be applied as hybrid mold inserts manufactured with rapid tooling (RT) technologies. Although many studies have been conducted on MEC or reinforced composite, research on the material properties, especially on thermal conductivity and compressive strength, that contribute to the overall mold insert performance and molded part quality are still lacking. The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of the cooling efficiency using MEC materials. Thus, this research aims to appraise a new formulation of MEC materials as mold inserts by further improving the mold insert performance. The effects of the thermal, physical, and mechanical properties of MEC mold inserts were examined using particles of brass (EB), copper (EC), and a combination of brass + copper (EBC) in irregular shapes. These particles were weighed at percentages ranging from 10% to 60% when mixed with epoxy resin to produce specimens according to related ASTM standards. A microstructure analysis was made using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to investigate brass and copper particle distribution. When filler composition was increased from 10% to 60%, the values of density (g/cm3), hardness (Hv), and thermal conductivity (W/mK) showed a linear upward trend, with the highest value occurring at the highest filler composition percentage. The addition of filler composition increased the compressive strength, with the highest average compressive strength value occurring between 20% and 30% filler composition. Compressive strength indicated a nonlinear uptrend and decreased with increasing composition by more than 30%. The maximum value of compressive strength for EB, EC, and EBC was within the range of 90–104 MPa, with EB having the highest value (104 MPa). The ANSYS simulation software was used to conduct a transient thermal analysis in order to evaluate the cooling performance of the mold inserts. EC outperformed the EB and EBC in terms of cooling efficiency based on the results of thermal transient analysis at high compressive strength and high thermal conductivity conditions.1 6
