INDUSTRIAL
TRAINING ACTIVITIES

3B.a1cTkgraroinuindg oAfcthiveitOiersganization
Throughout the five (5) months of industrial training, variety of jobs are provided

by Maker Lab UiTM. Not only focused on the primary task, the preliminary task also had
been assigned for any additional learning. This chapter will discuss about the duties and
tasks performed in the company.

3.1.1 Develop 3D Design
The unit’s work scope mostly includes working with 3D design and development.

During working hours, the activity is occupied by learned to do basic design models for
3D printing. Then, prior proceeding to the next process is to be capable to create and
develop a 3D design. Most often, Tinkercad is used to conduct daily 3D designing task
in Maker Lab, but it may be necessary to have basic training on other particular CAD
software such as Fusion360 and Adobe Illustrator. The activity is a process of finding the
product to be produced and the procedures to perform on the job to make the product
mixed with self-paced learning during design and delivery.

Some real-life difficulties of the design process including the fine tuning, testing and
understanding the need to be supplemented with the right materials. Usually, a new
product will be developed once a week to assure variety of projects are been delivered
that allows for many important lessons to be learned and skills to be developed.

3.1.1.1 Task performed
There are few phases to design a project. The design begins with creating parts

and assemblies followed by documenting the design in a 2D layout. The 3D modeling
starts out with basics working on simple shapes and geometries that will be "extruded"
into three dimensions. Most 3D design software allows to create a couple different file
types. Nearly all of them allow to create part files and assembly files, because every
product is either a single element or a combination of different pieces. For example, some

10

drawing sketch is made in Adobe Illustrator before it can be imported into TinkerCad to
create and visualize final products, and modify and optimize the designs measurements.
Some of the 3D design that has been develop during industrial training are listed in the
following table:

3.1.2 Operate Printer Machine
Maker Lab UiTM is equipped with two units of Ultimaker 3+ and Ultimaker 2

Extended+ 3D printers. After a 3D file is prepared for printing, the staff will start operate
and monitor the printing as well as the identification and remedies of print faults. It is
very important to test the functioning of all nozzles before printing to assure excellent
accuracy and surface finishes. Scheduled preventive maintenance and filament
replacement will contributed to the printing quality. Also, the task to be conducted on a
daily operation printing including plugging the USB device into the printer, navigate to
print, and select the print job from the list displayed on printing systems.

12

Figure 3.1
Ultimaker Printer

3.1.2.1 Task performed
To start printing with Ultimaker Extended printer, there are following steps to

ensure the printing setup meets the requirements. Firstly, ensure the machine is turned on.
The main menu should be visible on the LCD display and the LED’s of the machine
should be lit. The sliced model from Ultimaker Cura is saved to a USB device and it then
be plugged into the Ultimaker machine. Then, navigate the system to print, and select the
print job from the list displayed. The most recently saved print job will always be
displayed first in the list.
When printing, the default adhesion is set to brim so that extra lines is printed around the
perimeter of the first few layers of the model to ensure successful adhesion to the build
plate. The first layer is important to verify a bed leveling. Re-levelling the print bed is
needed when noticed issues with prints.

13

If a filament runs out during the printing, the printer is paused manually to change the
filament. Once the printing is done, the build plate is left to let it cool down. If needed,
the build plate can be wash to remove the excessive ink. Cleaning it in the sink with
ordinary dish soap and lukewarm water will works well.

The following table shows few products that has been successfully printed using both
Ultimaker 3+ and Ultimaker 2 Extended+ 3D printers:

3.1.3 Develop a Website Portfolio
4.1.3

As a creative learning spaces, Maker Lab vital in making sure its very own team
is receiving everything it needs to grow and prosper while working in the company. So,
the alternative ways for Maker Lab in making their members and works discoverable is
by actively encourage their staffs to use content marketing. First of all, Googlesite is
created to project oneself and with the most important benefits being the ability to
showcase valuable skills.

The main information that included in the site are the record of experience and skill,
together with the projects which have been accomplished in Maker Lab. The site
represents the perfect setting to convey an exemplary image about the company and the
nature of their work. Furthermore, it presents opportunity to display what can be offered
and also as a medium of recruitment advertising strategy.

15

In other hand, when someone lands on the profile this’s going to be favorable for Maker
Lab to give a sense to potential candidate why they should and would want to join this
organization and the benefits they will reap once part of the team.

Finally, preparing the Googlesite on a daily basis, will be used to track the performance
and will be referred when supervisors need to monitor assignments and projects.

3.1.3.1 Task performed
The site has been created by using screen shots, tutorials, collaborative

knowledge-sharing and encouraging active learning. Defaults Google’s site templates are
used and after selected the template, the next step is to customizing the Google Site. The
homepage uses a large header background using own images created in Photoshop to
gives an immediate personal touch.

Figure 3.2
Googlesite Home page

16

The site has five main tabs essentially focusing on work and skills. This allows people
landing on the page to view the work that have been done. The about section ideally build
to demonstrate growth, a summary of added skills, personal experience, and responsibility
that has been developed.

Figure 3.3
Googlesite Page Menu
The most important content on the site is the “Project” page which showcasing the
projects carried out during the internship in Maker Lab. Each project was described with
step-by-step instructions supported with images to deliver precise details to visitors. In
other hand, this section is used for daily or progress reports to track whether work is done
on time.

The primary activity in Maker Lab are includes skill development sessions. The
workshops and training sessions are delivered once a week. Some of the workshops that
have been conducted over the internship are Fusion360 Workshop, Adobe Illustrator
Training and Tutorial, and also Arduino Workshop. The skill sessions are filled with
interesting activity focusing on different key skills. The skill sessions series provided
personal instruction to help develop practical, hands-on skills as preparations for current
projects. As the intern students in Maker Lab came from different faculty, each member
contributes towards conducting the training. Other time, Dr. Siti Azma considered
bringing in outside experts who can conduct extensive training for brushing skills.
Every training session in Maker Lab had provided an extensive pool of knowledge in 3D
development such as on how to plan a project, model an idea, to work with sketches and
generate files for 3D printing. To say it all, the workshop found to be an opportunity to
utilize a variety of skills.

3.2 Special Project
Special Project can be defined as any suitable project to be proposed to the

industrial supervisor and planned to be developed by the students that can be beneficial
to the organization. During the Industrial Training in Maker Lab UiTM, two major
projects has been assigned, which is the UiTM Merchandise Project and Content
Development Project. All the information, progress and end product of these special
project will be discussed further in this chapter.

3.2.1 UiTM Merchandise Project: 3D Printed Book Page Holder
The UiTM merchandise is a task in regards to develop a custom product which

are essential to daily living. This task was assigned to promote idea creativity and
innovations begin from a learner to a creator. The process started by designing with a
CAD drawing, followed by development of objects being sliced into layers and lastly
completion of a final product build is printed.

Figure 3.8
3D Printed Book Page Holder

21

The idea of this product is as a simple clip aid to hold the pages in the book with
both soft and hard cover, to make sure the pages book is wide open and prevent the book
from closing. Design with a comb-shaped with hollow design, for some misbehaving
books, this could be extremely useful, particularly longer tomes requiring you to hold
them open for long sessions.
This object is simple in design. The surface is engraved with characters that are created
deep and solid to give personal touch. Printed in PLA, layer height 0.2 and wall thickness
2 mm so it’s not easily bent or broken if used too much. The model is encoded in 3D
printable STL file and printed with Ultimaker Cura 3+.

3.2.1.1 Objective of the task
The tasks were performed to implement the following objectives:

• To promoted a wide range of idea creation techniques such as brainstorming.
• Educate the significant need for elaborate, refine, analyses and evaluate ideas in

order to improve and maximize creative efforts.

e processes are explained in the table below:

Table 3.4
Process in Tinkercad

Descriptions
Add custom shapes in Tinkercad workplane to create a
3D design. The shape option can be seen on the right-side
menu. To insert a shape on the workplane, click on the
shape and drag it to the workplane. Use box and
paraboloid shapes to form a comb shape

25



The box shape is used as the body while the paraboloid is
used to build the clip. Duplicate paraboloid shapes into
two pieces and then placed or arranged them in a straight
line on the body to create the clip holder. All objects are
selected and adjusted to align. The body part is set to be
in solid and the paraboloid is set to hole. When the shapes
are aligned, the two shapes are joined together using the
“group” button. However, if one of the shapes is a hole,
then it creates a hollow area instead. After objects are
grouped together, the colour of the objects becomes the
same.

26



Figure out where to cut the shape to make a smooth,
curved shapes of the body. Easily bevel and curve edges
of the objects by converted into a hole and then cuts away
certain parts. Repeat for other edges as required. Group
all objects. The edges that intersect with the hole boxes
will be cut away. After all cuts are made, what should be
left behind is a body shape.

Next is to create the text character to engraved on the
shapes body. The text characters were created on
Microsoft words using “Montreuil Signature” font. Then
snipping tools is used to capture a screen shot of the text
and then the image is saved to convert it into Scalable
Vector Graphics (SVG) formatted file.

27



Then, used “Pinetools”, a free online converter that can
convert an image to an SVG file. Uploaded the file and
clicked convert. After that, downloaded the file to be
imported on Tinker Cad.

Tinkercad supports SVG and STL file formats. Click the
“Upload” button and wait while the file is being
uploaded.

28



After the texts are Inserted on the workplane, reduce the
height to 10 mm and width to 1 mm. Press “Hole” from
the inspector tab and place the text slightly deeper to the
body. Noticed that the text has become transparent

Select the two object and press align to center the text on
the body. The body size was adjusted to 100 mm x 60 mm
x 2 mm (length x height x width). The measurement is
suitable to use on any types of books. Lastly, all the
objects are grouped to get the final shape. When
everything has finished, it will then be exported in STL
formatted file.

After finalized the design in Autodesk TinkerCAD, the
Ultimaker Cura software has been used to setup the infill,
colour and etc. Then, the object has been sliced and
previewed layer by layer to ensure the product will be
printed properly. Ultimaker Cura also indicated the
duration of printing and the product weight as shown in
Figure 3.2.1 (9). After all adjustment are being made, the
file is saved in GCODE formatted file and transferred
into a pen drive. Then the model is printed using
Ultimaker Cura 3+.
