ABSTRACT DESIGN ANALYSIS
The aim of this project is to produce 3D printed batik stamp made from 1. Design iteration based on survey and FEA analysis
ABS material that incorporates ergonomic and modular approach by

the printed batik stamp is . The total cost of the new design is RM
• Handle length

• Handle diameter
PROBLEM STATEMENT = 65 mm
From ergonomic perspective, there are several key issues pertinent to (5th perc women)
issues related to the current batik stamp design as follows:
2. Stress distribution analysis using FEA (Solidwork)
• the handle position creates ulnar and
palmar deviation
• the handle design provides minimal contact
surface for hand grip
• the mass of the batik stamp is sometimes too
heavy for repetitive stamping work Experimentally determined mechanical

properties of FDM printed ABS (ASTM D368)
In addition, the fabrication process for batik stamp is also time
consuming and laborious.
PROJECT OBJECTIVES
The objectives of this study are:
• To design a new batik stamp which incorporate ergonomic
approaches related to hand tool applications
• To evaluate the effect of stamp design on stress distribution using Max Von Mises stress = 0.1366MPa Safety factor = 53.76
FEA (Solidwork) 3. Mass, print duration and cost analysis
• To identify other alternative material and fabrication process that
would lead to mass reduction and fabrication time 1800
