Abstract

The increasing number of materials with variation in properties, especially hard-to-cut, leads to the need for an advanced machining method to process such material. Electric Discharge Machining (EDM) is one of the advanced machining methods widely used for hard-to-cut alloys. The EDM process uses an electrode as the conductor of electrical current to erode the metal alloys and is supported by other components. Due to EDM's high cost and high energy consumption, developing a low-cost EDM and simpler EDM setup is necessary, especially for educational purposes in laboratory activity. However, the EDM design and setup required to produce the desired “spark” have always been a challenge for researchers and manufacturers. In this research, a small-scale EDM setup was built. A solenoid actuator is used to generate simple mechanical movement. The movement is used to control the gap between the workpiece and the electrode to produce a spark. The solenoid actuator is used because of its low cost and simple mechanism. The proposed EDM setup is successfully fabricated and works appropriately by generating sparks and a hole cavity during the process. There are six cavity holes produced in mild steel workpiece during the experiments with various parameters such as current (5A, 7A, and 10A) and frequency (10 Hz and 20 Hz). The varied parameter shows that the higher current and lower frequency removed more materials. In contrast, the higher frequency produced a better quality of the cavity hole. However, the lack of flushing quality on the material debris during the process results in the formation of excess metals around the edge of the hole.

Abstract

Orthotics are the body support devices used for correction, immobilization, fixation, and prevention of paralysis. The greatest number of orthotics utilized by people suffering from plantarflexion and dorsiflexion disability, especially in Indonesia, is ankle foot orthotic (AFO). However, the duration associated with fabricating AFO through conventional methods is considered time-consuming. This paper aims to fabricate ankle foot orthotics (AFO) using innovative combinations of 3D scanning and 3D printing. The method begins with 3D scanning of the patient’s lower limb using photogrammetry (3DF Zephyr). The design is generated and adjusted, afterwards, the orthotic prototype is produced by fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing using polypropylene (PP) material. This choice is attributed to the material's advantages, such as being lightweight, rigid, durable, and cost-effective. The 3D mesh model scanned using 3DF Zephyr shows good quality and more precise results. In addition, the prototype produced using 3D printing was tested by walking based on normal gait analysis’s angle of foot and calf measurement, which shows a maximum range of motion (ROM) of 16.1˚. The proposed methods of fabricating orthotic prototypes can successfully reduce the processing time by approximately 70% compared to the conventional method.
