【 摘 要 】

Subtractive rapid prototyping is fast and automatic three dimensions physical modelling that uses computer aided design model as the input. The dimensional accuracy of the result of the subtractive rapid prototyping is influenced by its process parameters. The aim of this research is to study and then develop a model that shows the influence of depth of cut, feed rate, and step-over on the vertical length error, horizontal length error, and depth error in subtractive rapid prototyping of polycarbonate material. This research implements response surface methodology to develop the model and then followed by the residual tests to evaluate the developed model. The result shows that the increase of the feed rate and the step-over will increase the horizontal dimension error. The most influenced factor on the horizontal dimension error is the step-over. Meanwhile, the vertical dimension error will be affected mostly by the step-over. Last, the depth error is influenced by the feed rate, the step-over, and the depth of cut. The depth of cut is the most critical factor that increases the depth error. The developed models give an insight on how several process parameters of rapid prototyping will influence the dimensional accuracy of a polycarbonate material. Based on the model, efficient resources utilization can be achieved.
