What's happening in PresUniv
The Japan Science and Technology Foundation (JST) in collaboration with President University (PresUniv), held the Sakura Science Exchange Program 2021. This event held from 13 – 16 December 2021 to provide new insights about current technological developments. On the third day, this program held a webinar by presenting several speakers, namely Associate Prof. Takenonori Ohno, Prof. Akira Kato, and Glenn Hizkia Argy, all three from Teikyo University, and Nanang Ali Sutisna, M.Eng., a lecturer in the Mechanical Engineering Study Program, PresUniv, Wednesday (15/12).
In his presentation, Hizkia conveyed his research on the Study on Fuel Consumption on Actual Road by using Traffic Flow Simulation. Hizkia said this study aims to study vehicle models built with traffic flow simulations. "The purpose of this study is to reproduce the actual road driving by simulating traffic flow, as well as evaluate and analyze it in order to present a method of increasing fuel consumption," explained Hizkia.
Meanwhile, Nanang explained about Additive Manufacturing: Challenges and Opportunities in Metal Manufacturing Process. Said Nanang, “Additive manufacturing can be described as a technique of mixing materials either with fusion, bonding, solidification materials, such as liquid resins and powders.” This makes for the best results in layer building when using 3D CAD (Computer Aided Design) modeling. “This most useful metal 3D printed material offers manufacturers the greatest added value compared to traditional manufacturing methods,” he explains.
