| dc.description.abstract | Feature reconstruction involves restoring damaged or broken elements within objects. This project addresses the issue of product disposal due to minor damages, which leads to shortened product lifespans and high costs of professional reconstruction. To promote sustainability and resource efficiency, there is a critical need for an accessible and straightforward method for feature reconstruction. This research focuses on using 3D printing technology to achieve precise reconstruction of broken features. The project employs a systematic methodology that begins with tracking and categorizing damaged products based on the extent of the damage. Subsequent steps involve strategic adjustments to component positions to ensure optimal conditions for the 3D printing process. Key stages include G-Code generation, editing, and detailed comparison to ensure accuracy. This stage was concluded by the actual 3D printing of the damaged parts, which, in turn, was scrutinized by the evaluation of the tracking process. The lab tests results were vital in deciphering the gripping attributes of the reconstructed features. As a result, the method of torsion testing was considerable, specifically for determining the tolerance of the subject surface with constraints to become broken. In terms of a flat surface broken feature, the average of maximum torques of 20.786 Nm and the average of force of 101.899 N were recorded. The p-value of this feature was greater than 0.05, which indicated that there was no significant difference in terms of cohesiveness of the part compared to the original product. It is noteworthy that in the case of the waved surface broken feature, the average of maximum torques and force was 13.823 Nm and 68.804 N, while the p-value was lesser than 0.05, implying that a significant difference in terms of density of the reconstruct with regards to the original product. Overall, the purpose of the project was to develop an efficient approach for feature reconstruction. The project aims to transform the feasibility requirements for replacing the damaged product of minor severity. Not only the objectives were accomplished at a cost-efficient rate, but the extent of the limitations could be cast to a considerable remark up to the idea of reducing waste by the prolongation of the product life span. | |
