Abstract

Sistem Rapid Prototyping (RP) ialah teknologi yang menukar sesuatu reka bentuk yang dibina dalam Computer Aided Design (CAD) ke suatu komponen model 3D. Model CAD biasanya dibina dalam sistem CAD yang kemudiannya dihantar ke sistem RP. Antaramuka yang baik antara sistem CAD dan sistem RP adalah salah satu faktor penting dalam menghasilkan prototaip yang berkualiti tinggi. Kertas kerja ini melaporkan hasil uji kaji yang dijalankan untuk mengenal pasti masalah-masalah dalam memindahkan data antara satu sistem CAD (UNIGRAPHICS) dan satu sistem RP (QUICKSLICE). Berdasarkan hasil uji kaji dan analisis yang dijalankan, satu garis panduan dicadangkan untuk perpindahan data yang lebih berkesan antara sistem CAD (UNIGRAPHICS) dan sistem RP (QUICKSLICE). Kata kunci: CAD; CAM; CAD/CAM; Rapid Prototyping Rapid Prototyping (RP) is a technology that transform a design generated in Computer Aided Design (CAD) to a 3D model parts. CAD models are usually done on a CAD system and then transported into the RP system. A good interface between the CAD and the RP system is one of the key factors of producing a good quality prototype. This paper reports on the results of an experimentation carried out to identify the problems in transferring data between a CAD system (UNIGRAPHICS) and an RP system (QUICKSLICE). Based on the experimentation’s results and analysis, a basic guideline is proposed for a safer data transfer between the CAD system (UNIGRAPHICS) and an RP system (QUICKSLICE). Key words: CAD; CAM; CAD/CAM; Rapid Prototyping
