Abstract

This study discusses the implementation of rapid tooling in the manufacture of MiFUS casing to find out what happened and the optimal catalyst. The rapid tooling method is used because standard injection plastic is less efficient for making low-scale products. Rapid tooling applications are realized by using concrete epoxy resin as a product and polyester resin as a product. The use of polyester resin in products usually requires booster because the material is well known and has a high uniqueness of 5-12%. The solution offered is to adjust the ratio of the polyester resin in order to get the strength to receive optimal and minimum mechanical loads. The shrinkage that occurs will be used as a design rule or a rule in increasing the size of each catalyst ratio so that the size obtained is more precise than the function of the product can be achieved. The method begins with the process of planning, manufacturing, and testing. The result of this research is for the tensile test, the optimal catalyst ratio is 2.5:100 at 41 MPa while for the flexural test at 3: 100 it is 71 MPa. To distinguish the minimum is at a catalyst ratio of 1.5: 100.
