Abstract

The use of natural materials like rattan in eco-friendly composites is gaining attention in materials engineering. However, its hydrophilic nature and interaction with other materials can affect mechanical strength. This study investigates how variations in rattan size and alkali treatment influence the tensile properties of single rattan strips through an epoxy dipping process. Rattan was prepared with varying lengths (5–15 cm), widths (3–8 mm), and a consistent thickness (0.5 mm). Alkali treatment used 5% and 10% NaOH concentrations for 1 and 24 hours. Tensile testing showed that a 5 cm × 8 mm strip achieved the highest tensile strength (49.95 MPa), Young's modulus (3562.77 MPa), and low strain (5.4%), while the 15 cm × 3 mm strip had the lowest strength (9.48 MPa) and modulus (475.69 MPa) with higher strain (10.32%). A 5% NaOH treatment for 24 hours improved adhesion and performance, while 10% caused degradation.

Abstract

This study investigates the optimization of manufacturing femoral components for Total Knee Replacement (TKR) using Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) simulation and 5-axis CNC milling, followed by dimensional verification based on 3D scanning. The machining process was simulated in Autodesk PowerMill to generate collision-free toolpaths for AISI 316L stainless steel. Dimensional verification was conducted by comparing the 3D-scanned physical model (using Creality CR-Scan Ferret Pro) with the original CAD model in Geomagic Control X. The metrological analysis showed a Root Mean Square (RMS) deviation of 0.5317 mm and an average positive deviation of 0.2572 mm. Spatial deviation analysis revealed significant dimensional variations, with a maximum deviation of +2.5761 mm and a minimum deviation of -2.5713 mm. Specifically, in critical functional regions, the medial and lateral condyles exhibited deviations ranging from -0.4683 mm to 0.232 mm, while the patellar groove showed a deviation of 0.1989 mm. Although the machining strategy successfully produced the complex implant geometry, the tolerance distribution data indicated that only 17.22% of the surface fell within the strictly specified tolerances, highlighting the need for further optimization of cutting parameters and fixturing strategies to minimize surface roughness and dimensional inaccuracies.
