Page 13.591.4 Figure 1: Architecture of the Integrated Product Manufacturing TechniqueApplicationThe rapid product development technique was tested with the fabrication of two types of plasticgears. Each batch has 25 plastic gears. A gear with hub (A) and a simple gear (B) were thecomponents selected for this purpose. The dimensions were established as shown in Table 1. 3Dsolid models of the gears were created with the gear design parameters using the IntegratedDesign and Engineering Analysis Software (I-deas). First of all, the tooth profile was designed(Figure 2) and the final design of the gears were arrived as illustrated in Figure 3 and Figure 4.The design of the gears can be optimized by performing engineering analysis using the

direction (TD).In general, the properties of plastics are influenced by testing environment (e.g.temperature and humidity), so film strip samples were conditioned at 23±2 ºC for 40hours in controlled laboratory environment, prior to the testing.The speed of testing can be determined from the experimental initial strain rate asspecified ASTM standard D882. The rate of grip separation was determined for thepurpose of the experiment from the initial strain rate as follows: A = BCWhere:A = rate of grip separation, mm (or in.)/min,B = initial distance between grips, mm (or in.), andC = initial strain rate, mm/mm·min (or in. /in·min).The initial strain rates of the experiment were chosen at 2 in/in·min and 10 in
