Abstract
None of the research found in the literature investigates and optimizes the subtractive rapid prototyping process parameters in order to fabricate polycarbonate material. This research is conducted to optimize the subtractive rapid prototyping process parameters of polycarbonate material in order to achieve the maximum material rate removal without exceeding the dimensional error value of 1 mm, similar to the result of additive manufacturing. The response surface methodology is implemented in this research to optimized three process parameters, which are feed rate, step-over, and depth of cut. Two responses investigated in this research are material rate removal and dimensional error. The response optimizer is used to optimize the responses. The result shows that optimum material removal rate and dimensional error that can be achieved is 2.494 mm3/s and 0.97 mm respectively. A confirmation test experiment has been conducted to verify the optimization result.
