Advanced Design and Fabrication of Islamic Tile Ceramic Wall Tiles With Indonesian Batik Patterns Using Artistic CAD/CAM and 3D Printing Technology

Abstract

The ceramic tile wall is a decorative element used inside restaurants, museums, hotels, aristocratic residences, and places of worship. It plays a critical role in the development of a structure with strong personality and unique qualities by providing relief patterns specific to history or era. The demand for distinctive ornamental wall ceramics that can be mass produced with precision and accuracy has been a challenge for numerous ceramic enterprises in Indonesia, which have historically relied on the skills of artistic professionals in a handmaking process. The purpose of this research was therefore to develop and apply a ceramic tile design process that integrates computer design and fabrication methods with traditional ceramic production techniques. Using the ArtCAM 2015R2 software, photos of batik and Islamic themes were effectively converted into a 2.5D computer-aided design model. Additive manufacturing technology was then used in conjunction with Objet30 Pro 3D printer to precisely produce master molds with Islamic nuances such as puzzle and floral patterns, then conventional ceramic fabrication technology was employed to produce ceramic tiles using these molds. By combining computer-aided design and rapid prototyping technologies, a variety of exact and detailed Islamic decorative ceramic wall tiles were produced with dimensional accuracies within 2.00 mm. Furthermore, the proposed approach demonstrated a 90% reduction in design-to-production time from to 10–12 months to roughly 1–1.5 months.

Optimization of virtual design and machining time of the mold master ceramic jewelry products with Indonesian batik motifs

“…The selling value of Jewellery ceramics is increased by adding decorations in the form of textures, relief ornaments, and unique colors (Fergiawan et al, 2019;Mahendri et al, 2020;Yuniarto et al, 2022). The use of computer-aided reverse engineering system (CARE System) technology produces ceramic jewelry with detailed, precise, and accurate textures and ornaments, as described very well by [Chang, 2015a;Chang 2015b;Oncea et al, 2013;Othman, 2012;Fergiawan et al, 2019;Anggoro et al, 2021;Mahendri et al, 2020;Darmanto et al, 2022;Anggoro et al, 2022;Yuniarto et al, 2022] The development of this technology can be optimized very well by engineers for the manufacture of ceramic products, which has enabled the ceramic industry to be able to improve its production process. This technology offers a competitive advantage for the industry to reduce production costs, speed up manufacturing processes, and produce detailed, precise, accurate, and uniform products.…”

“…Nowadays, it is not always a person who makes the artifact; machines make some artifacts with no direct human operator. These machines might be reasonably sophisticated numerically-controlled tools such as milling machines CNC and or 3D Print (McLaughlin, 1988a;McLaughlin, 1988b;Homer and Skaar, 1991;Oncea, 2013;Oncea et al, 2013;Othman, 2012;Zhang et al, 2018;Anggoro et al, 2021;Anggoro et al, 2022). In these cases, therefore, the final design specification before manufacturing might not be in the form of drawings but a string of digits stored on a disk or in computer software that controls the CNC machine's actions.…”

“…Based on a centralized computeraided design prototype, simulation models can be derived using correct simplifying assumptions. However, for faster simulation model modifications, a one-way geometry that directs alterations from CAD models to simulation models must be built (Chang, 2015a;Chang, 2015b;Chang, 2015c;Anggoro et al, 2022). However, some of the researchers above have not conducted research on industrial product design simulations from CAD models to virtual machining in the ceramic industry, especially in jewelry products.…”

“…The ceramic industry in Indonesia still applies a little computer technology in designing due to technological and cost constraints. Along with the development of information technology and CAD-CAM applications and manufacturing processes, several industries are increasingly interested in using computer technology (Anggoro et al, 2022); based on research previously, there has been no writing that discusses in detail the stages of virtual detain design and virtual machining custom in jewelry pendant ceramic products.…”
