Abstract

Titanium is a biocompatible metal commonly applied in biomedical fields such as bone and dental implants. Recently, the produced titanium-Polylactic Acid (PLA) filament for 3D printing Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technique is easier to operate and affordable. This filament contains less than 20% PLA, which is also biocompatible but hydrophobic and capable of producing inflammation of the surrounding artificial living tissue. Therefore, a heat treatment is needed to reduce or even eliminate PLA. The research aimed to optimize the mechanical properties and biocompatibility of titanium-PLA filaments through heat treatment, demonstrating significant advancements in 3D printing applications for biocompatible materials. A Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) was carried out to find out the right temperature for reducing PLA levels. Specimens were heat treated with four temperatures at 100oC, 160oC, 190oC, and 543oC, and two holding times of 60 and 120 minutes. The mass of the specimens was weighed before and after heat treatment to determine the mass reduction and tested for tensile, micrograph, and fractography observation. The result is a meagre mass reduction. The highest tensile strength of the heat-treated specimen with a heat treatment temperature of 160oC and a holding time of 60 minutes is 18.310 MPa. However, it is still below the strength of the non-heat treated specimen, 19.890 MPa. Specimens with low tensile strength have a microstructure that shows an uneven distribution of titanium particles. Last, fractography shows porosity in the specimens with the lowest tensile strength.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been widely applied in the medical world. One such application is a hand-driven robot based on user intention prediction. The purpose of this research is to control the grip strength of a robot based on the user’s intention by predicting the grip strength of the user using deep learning and electromyographic signals. The grip strength of the target hand is obtained from a handgrip dynamometer paired with electromyographic signals as training data. We evaluated a convolutional neural network (CNN) with two different architectures. The input to CNN was the root mean square (RMS) and mean absolute value (MAV). The grip strength of the hand dynamometer was used as a reference value for a low-level controller for the robotic hand. The experimental results show that CNN succeeded in predicting hand grip strength and controlling grip strength with a root mean square error (RMSE) of 2.35 N using the RMS feature. A comparison with a state-of-the-art regression method also shows that a CNN can better predict the grip strength.

Abstract

3D printing machines are used to print products that support sports activities, such as shin guards. During sports, shin guards are protective equipment to prevent injury to the lower legs. Filaments that are suitable for making shin guards are thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and polyethylene terephthalate (PETG) because they have impact resistance properties needed to protect the feet during sports. The variation is the level parameter layer height, nozzle temperature, printing speed, and bed temperature. Next, an impact test will be carried out to determine the optimal parameter variation on the 3D printing machine, which is expected to be a reference for printing quality products. This study uses a 3D printer, Ender v3, to print specimens and shin guard products. The material used is TPU+PETG filament. The Taguchi method with the orthogonal matrix L9(3)4 was repeated thrice for each experiment. After that, an analysis of variance was carried out. Parameter variations used in the study were layer height (0.1 mm, 0.2 mm, 0.3 mm), nozzle temperature (220℃, 225℃, 230℃), printing speed (45mm/s, 45mm/s, 50mm/s) and bed temperature. (70℃, 75℃, 80℃). In this study, Charpy impact testing will be carried out. The combination of factors that can produce an optimal impact test is layer height level 2 (0.2 mm), nozzle temperature level 1 (220℃), printing speed level 3 (50 mm/s) and bed temperature level 2 (75℃) with an impact strength value the highest was 27.20 and the lowest was 11.07. The combination of factors that have the most significant effect on the impact test strength values is layer height 63.97%, nozzle temperature 6.19%, printing speed 2.07% and bed temperature 4.74%.
