Project 1: Spring Roll Seaweed Snack Cutting Machine (PPRN- MOE)
Description of the Project:
Company has problem with manual cutting of seaweed snack and longer time required for drying. To solve this problem, a continuous drying using blower heating system & counter flow technology will be employed. At the same time, the cutting process will be carried out automatically using cutter mould roller. Figure below show the schematic diagram of the system.

Project 3: 3D welding machine
Description of the product
Metal additive manufacturing is a relatively new technology brought to enhance the available 3D printing technology which is polymer based in terms of product functionality. However, the technology is very expensive. In this project, a relatively cheap and user friendly metal based 3d welding machine developed based on DIY concept using modular approach was developed. To date, it already benefited many students in their projects. The machine consist of 4 independant module, a) welding set, (b) CNC router, (c) main body and (d) XYZ table.
CAD model of the machine
The machine utilized the typical MIG machine setup as shown in figure below. It is attached to the CNC router that allow for XYZ movement. It is programm

Project 4: Wood breaker and saw dust machine
Description
Gaharu or agar wood tree is a special tree used for its distinctive fragrance in incense, perfumes, and traditional medicine. Support technology and machinaries are required in processing the wood before the oil can be extracted. Utilizing in-house facilities and expertise, we have produced two machines, i.e. wood breaker and saw dust machine (not explained here).
Figure 1: Wood breaker
The wood breaker is equipped with 2 blades that can be easily replaced or when it's requires resharpen. Safety fance is use to cover the blade for safety of the operator once it rotating and for mobility, heavy duty wheels were utilised.
Status: Ready
