Abstract

This research focuses on testing the flexural strength of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) materials used in 3D printing by the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) method. The objective of this study was to evaluate the mechanical strength of ABS using a full factorial experimental design, applying three main factors such as layer height, infill density and infill pattern. Flexural testing was conducted following ASTM D790 standards. A total of 27 specimens were made by varying the layer height, infill density and infill pattern. The results showed that layer height was the most influential factor on flexural strength, with the highest value of 41.815 Mpa at 0.2 mm layer height, 100% infill density, and line infill pattern. ANOVA analysis supported this conclusion with p values <0.05 for layer height, while infill pattern and infill density showed no significant effect. This study provides guidelines for the use of optimal parameters in ABS-based 3D printing processes.

Abstract

Education has a central role in preparing individuals for the complexities of the modern world of work. Particularly in the context of education in Vocational High Schools, developing students' competencies in collaboration, creativity, and problem-solving is essential. This study explores the effectiveness of the case-based learning method in improving students' understanding of industrial mechanics. The study used a quasi-experiment design with control and experimental groups. The statistical analysis results showed that the case method was more effective in improving students' cognitive mastery than the conventional lecture method. Students who participated in case method learning showed significant improvement in the post-intervention test, demonstrating the superiority of this method in supporting a more effective learning process and preparing students for practical challenges in the field. In conclusion, the case method increases students' participation and interactivity in the learning process and deepens their understanding of technical concepts in industrial mechanics. This research provides a solid basis for implementing more effective and relevant learning methods in preparing vocational students for the increasingly complex needs of the world of work.
