ABOUT US
DESIGN STUDIO
Design Laboratory was located under the Applied Mechanics & Design Department of the School of Mechanical Engineering.
This lab currently supervised by Ts. Khairul Anwar Bin Hanafiah as the Lab Academic Coordinator. An assistance engineer has been positioned to ensure the smoothness of the lab operations. We have 3D Printer Machines to perform the activities of designing a material for project and research purposes.
Under the design lab, there are 5 studios for teaching class sessions and design workshop .

ABS / PLA (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
The most common materials for FDM is ABS and PLA.
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
ABS plastic is made out of oil-based resources and it has a much higher melting point than PLA plastic. It’s also stronger and harder. Because of these particular features, ABS is widely used for purposes ranging from car bumpers and motorcycle helmets to musical instruments, golf-clubs and Lego.
Pros:
Good strength
Goodtemperatureresistance
Very sturdy and hard
Suitable for machine or car parts
Higher melting point
Longer lifespan
Cons:
Made out of oil, so more damaging to the environment
Easy to warp -deforms when not being print on a heated surface
Hot plastic fumes when printing
More difficult to print
Not suitable for using with food
PLA (poly lactic acid)
PLA is a bio-degradable type of plastic that is manufactured out of plant-based resources such as corn starch or sugar cane. This is why it is called ‘the green plastic’.
Pros:
Excellent visual quality
Easiertoprint
Can be printed on a cold surface
More environmental-friendly
Shinier and smoother appearance
Smells sweet when being print
No harmful fumes during printing
Higher 3d printer speed
More detail
Cons:
Can deform because of heat (like a cassette in a car)
Less sturdy (than ABS)
