Abstract:
The focus of this project is developing a UniKL dragon boat paddle
blade mold by according to International Dragon Boat Federation (IDBF). The
dragon boat paddle blade mold commonly only companies have it. the
objective of the Final Year Project is to complete the design of dragon boat
paddle blade following IDBF specification and develop the dragon boat paddle
blade mold as per design by using CNC machine. The advantages from this
project is the process and programming can be understand easily. Also, the
mold can be produce by low-cost material. A study has been done by following
the basic of AlphaCAM software, CNC machine programming and the actual
size of dragon boat blade according to IDBF. Nowadays, commonly some of
people that used this software are not understand properly the use of it. Also,
there are not much in education centre that produce the product from the
developed design and programming because the real simulation of CNC
machine is not presented. Regarding to this problem, I decided to create the
design and product from it which will meet this requirement. A research also
be done to find a proper material and the measurement of dragon boat paddle
blade for the project to make it much reliable as models. Technical knowledge
and skills such as designing, cutting, programming and customize is needed
to complete the project. All skills are learned from professionals in education
place. The main materials used to make the dragon boat paddle blade mold is
mild steel due to its durability and similarity to make the mold. The main
materials are used because of its material properties is suitable for make the
mold.
