| dc.description.abstract | This research explores the learning processes of Conventional Model Making and Rapid Prototyping as practised in Product Design education at the School of Arts, Universiti Sains Malaysia. The parameters of both Conventional Model Making (CMM) and Rapid Prototyping (RP) are studied respectively to compare the differences and to look for advantages and disadvantages of both processes. In this research, a comparative method is used to understand the parameters concern; costs, time, and space. Costs, time, and space are the parameters that affected the choice of methods in producing a model or a prototype by students of Product Design. A Case Study, Survey, and Semi-structured Interview are used to explain the relationships between phenomena (CMM and RP) and causality (Product Design students) of both processes. In the School of Arts, Universiti Sains Malaysia, CMM process and a 3D printing system is studied as RP method. The researcher uses three batches of final year students who are proficient in model making and prototyping as samples for survey questionnaires. Three professionals in Product Design and Industrial Design educations are interviewed to understand more in depth on CMM and RP processes practised in Product Design education. There are differences found in both processes regarding the parameters concern respectively. CMM process is found more cost-effective compared to RP. But the CMM process is a time-consumed process with repetitive process in order to have a good presentation model. With precision and accuracy the RP system can produce a prototype in a shorter time compared to CMM process. Minimal space for RP restricts the use of the system by the large number of students, whereas the CMM allowed students to practice the process freely either in a provided space or their own space. The advantages and disadvantages of both processes are balanced in benefitting the students of Product Design in the School of Arts, Universiti Sains Malaysia. | en_US |
