    Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) is a process for developing Rapid Prototype (RP) objects according to numerically defined cross sectional geometry by depositing fused layers of material. This RP may used straight to the application. Therefore, this research has been done to optimize the best parameter towards better roughness on the surface. Plus, this research is to explore the influence of layer height, outline speed and extruder temperature with the surface roughness. A specimen has been proposed to fulfil the objective of the research. In order to build the specimen, it has been drawn by CAD. The, it was transfer to Standard Triangulation Language, (STL) file. The STL will read and the FDM will deposits the material from the bottom curve and build up the model to the top curve. In order to reduce experimental runs, Taguchi Method based on central composite design is adopted. L9 was used to run the specimen. Thus, there is nine experiment that will run. Specimens are prepared to improve surface roughness of the 3D printing. The specimen was measured by Mitutoyo CS3000 525-780EI.

    The 'dadih' and milk factory is kind of a small factory and it is called as SME (Small and Medium Enterprise). The purpose of visiting to these factories is to find out the main problem faced by the factories currently. Through a series of analysis such as questionnaire, interview and also observation, the problems are found. According to the factories visited, the cooking method by the factories are varies. Some of the factories are using the traditional method which is cooking by using gas stove and some are using semi-automated boiler. However, the boiling point of the traditional cooking method is around 100°C and it is not able to kill the milk spores in the milk products. A high temperature (135°C-150°C) to cook the milk products in short time (3s-5s) is the basic requirement to kill the milk spores in the milk products. The milk spores are the main reason to shorten the life span of the milk products. According to the information provided by the factory, the life span of 'dadih' produced by using the traditional method are very short which is maximum 2 or 3 weeks if it is refrigerated. In other words, if the products are placed in a normal room temperature, it will not last more than 4 hours. The problem is those factories are intended to buy a UHT boiler but the existing boiler in the market is too big and too expensive which is not suitable and affordable by Small and Medium size (SME) companies.

    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.

    A solar car is a lightweight, low power vehicle designed and built with a single purpose in mind–racing with and only drive during the day. It has limited seating (one or two peoples) and usually has very little cargo capacity. However, it offers an excellent opportunity to develop future technologies that can be applied to practical applications. This study will focus on design and analysis solar car chassis part. The primary challenge in developing an effective solar car chassis is to maximize strength and safety while minimizing the weight. Every extra pound requires more energy to move down the road. However, safety is a primary concern and the chassis must meet stringent strength and safety requirements. The purpose of the study is to understand the concept design of solar car chassis in terms of calculation, material selection, chassis style selection and virtual analysis for chassis using CATIA software.

    A molded expanded polystyrene (EPS) cushion is a flexible, closed-cell foam that can be molded to fit any packing application and is effective at absorbing shock. However, the packaging waste of EPS cushions causes pollution to landfills and the environment. Despite being known to cause pollution, this sustainable packaging actually has the potential to reduce this environmental pollution because of its reusability. Therefore, the objective of this study is to identify the accurate design parameter that can be emphasized in producing a sustainable design of EPS cushion packaging. An experimental method of drop testing and design simulation analysis was conducted. The effectiveness of the design parameters was also verified. Based on the results, there are four main elements that necessitate careful consideration: rib positioning, EPS cushion thickness, package layout, and packing size. These parameter findings make a significant contribution to sustainable design, where these elements were integrated directly to reduce and reuse packaging material. Thus, it has been concluded that 48 percent of the development cost of the cushion was decreased, 25 percent of mold modification time was significantly saved, and 27 percent of carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction was identified. The findings also aided in the development of productive packaging design, in which these design elements were beneficial to reduce environmental impact. These findings had a significant impact on the manufacturing industry in terms of the economics and time of the molded expanded polystyrene packaging development.
