AFinite Element Model For A Selective Laser Sintering of A Polycarbonate Powder Block
A two dimensional finite element model was applied to determine temperature distribution within the layer block in the Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) of polycarbonate powders. Temperature time history and the sintering densification within the powder bed have been assumed to follow the solution of the heat conduction and the Nelson model (1993), respectively. The conductivity and the specific heat of the particle bed are treated as a function of temperature. In this model, shrinkage which usually occured after cooling is not considered. The results show that densification depends on the temperature distribution within the powder block and the laser power or the Andrew number

EFEK APLIKASI SERICIN PADA HIDROKSIAPATIT TERHADAP PERLEKATAN SEL OSTEOBLAS
Hydroxyapatite (HA) is often used as a human bone grai Modification of HA surface is developed to increase osseointegration process which is influenced by cells attachment surrounded the tissue. Sericin has polar side groups which acceleratecells attachment. The aim of this researchwas to determine the effectof sericin application over HA surface on the attachment of osteoblast cells. The research used HA synthesizedfrom gypsum (Kulon Progo, Yogyakarta). Sericin was extracted from silkworm cocoonsof Bombyx mori. Sericin of 0.01, 0.05, 0.1% were applied over HA discs surface (10 mm in diameter, 3 mm thick). The discs were inserted into osteoblastcells culture of MC3T3El for attachment test. The data were analyzed by ANOV A and LSD. The result showed that the amount of osteoblast cells attached to HA (7.60I0.42) was significantly difference (p0.05). In conclusion, sericin application over HA surface increased the amount of osteoblast cells attachment. Concentrations of sericin application over HA (0.01, 0.05, 0.1%) did not influence osteoblastcells attachment

THE EFFECT OF 3D PRINTING MACHINE PARAMETERS IN EXTRUSION PROCESS OF BIOCOMPOSITE MATERIALS (PMMA AND HA) ON DIMENSIONAL ACCURACY
Bone implants are medical procedures involving replacement or reconstruction of missing or damaged bones with the patient's ones, natural substitutes or artificial substitutes. The widely used bone cement is a polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) based composite material. To improve bioactivity, PMMA is combined with hydroxyapatite (HA). The manual formation can make bone implants during surgery. However, the method requires a longer operation time and raises the possibility of a higher error. Therefore, 3D printing technology is used to improve the quality of bone implants. One of the machines that can be used is the 3D printing machine, the property of the Product Design and Development Laboratory of Universitas Gadjah Mada. This machine needs to be tested to determine the accuracy of the prints, which is one indicator of product quality. Several machine parameters can be set in this machine setting. This study aims to determine the effect of three parameters, those are perimeter speed or edge print speed (20-40 mm / s), infill speed or inner print speed (50 - 70 mm / s), and fill angle or inner slope of inner printing (45 - 90 ° C). Before printing complex shapes, the machine was tested in advance with a more straightforward specimen design, which is a specimen design of flexural strength test. Response surface experiment design is used to determine the effect of three parameters on the dimensional accuracy which is measured through dimensional error. The results show that these three factors have no significant impact on the dimensional error, but the resulting error is still high. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the design size before printing

Improvement of Andong Horseshoe Quality in Yogyakarta City to Support City Tourism
The Zero Kilometer Point is an important route for andong horses in Yogyakarta City. The renovation and replacement of road material with andesite can cause horses to slip because the horseshoes have not been adjusted to the new road material. If neglected, it can harm the horses and its owners, reducing the tourism industry in Yogyakarta. On the other hand, horseshoes demand is still met by small and medium enterprises (SME) without a well-standardized system. After doing technical testing to the existing horseshoe design, several alternative solutions were obtained for horseshoe redesign (1) by adding rubber pads and (2) serrated without rubber pads. Based on analysis and testing, it was found that horseshoe with the addition of rubber by 40% was able to increase the friction value to 0.54 or 10% from the initial condition. Besides improving the productivity and quality of SME horseshoe products, several solutions should be considered, including (1) change the layout design of SME by implementing 5S lean six sigma principles and (2) apply new methods/technology to maintain the standardization of horseshoe product. Implementation of both solutions will guarantee not only the quality product but also SME production. It is hoped that all the improvements that have been made will increase the quantity and quality of horseshoe products. Then it will also be able to improve the image of Yogyakarta City as a tourist city
