Abstract

3D printing technology has been widely applied for academic research and industries. The 3D printing can be used for reverse engineering purpose such as to produce an existing object, components, or products. It can also be used to modify product development, such as improving simple or complex designs with higher endurance for its function. In this study, a quick release hanging hook design was developed and a prototype was fabricated using 3D printing with a thermoplastic material such as PLA. The quick release hanging hook needs to fulfill some requirements such as ease to be inserted and released from the bottom side of the pegboard, fit into 12.7 mm diameter of the hole and 3.81 mm pegboard thickness, and being able to carry and hold a minimum of 7 kg load. The 3D design was built and simulated to determine the strength. The simulation result by ANSYS software shows the maximum stress was not exceeded the yield strength of the PLA material and has a safety factor of 1.7. The proposed design was 3D printed using the FDM process and successfully achieved the 7 kg minimum load.
