2 By taking the product properties such as shape and dimension, the design of casing
can be produce. There fore in the rapid prototype, application for this study will find out how to produce the casing product. The final sample will be use as a final casing
of air pressure plug.
1.2 OBJECTIVE OF THE RESEARCH
The objective of this study is to apply the rapid prototype engineering method in a real
situation and discover how this engineering application can be implement in making a prototype for casing air pressure plug. The main focused in this study was the
design of Casing Air Pressure Plug. The part which going to produce were cap and body which can be fit together, do some analyze the aspect of the product during
manufacturing process and get the final product casing Air Pressure Plug
1.2.1 PURPOSES OF STUDY
The purpose of this study is to develop the Casing Air Pressure Plug which is a cap and body part and study the manufacturing process and analyze for the product. The
Air Pressure Plug did not have any casing yet to protect it from any factor that can make it damage. And to product it in the market level, the product need a casing. The
other of most proposes is to know the rapid prototype engineering approach and it application in producing any part. As the other option, some analysis will be taken.

1.2.2 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROBLEM
Rapid Prototype is a rapidly developing technology. It application cover all industrial and academic field [1]. Many of company in this industries use the rapid prototype
approach because it can decrease costly mistakes but need a high cost in term of machining and tool. It can produce a prototype easily in short time and save analysis
time on the product. By this process, the product can be re innovation or redesign after done the analysis process. Therefore, by taking this approach as method, the
manufacture of product can reduce the Research and Develop program and producing a product. By this, the company or manufactured did not need to asked
other industry to produce the part or analyze the part.
1.2.3 PROBLEM STATEMENT
The Casing Air Pressure Plug need to be design and need to develop or manufacture, but there are no other easily way or method for produced it than rapid prototype. The
casing consists of a cap and body. The Air Pressure Plug is needed to be in the market for the next year. The casing must be suitable with the customer needs and
the product specification and also the design of air pressure plug itself. The requirement related to the product air pressure plug. So by using rapid prototype
engineering, the casing of product can be produced and have to do some analysis. If the casing failed, we need to improve it and make it a new product or prototype. The
cost will not so high if using the rapid prototype engineering approach.
