Rancang Bangun Aalat Penunjang Pembentukan Kayu untuk Proses Pembuatan Cetakan Kapal Fiberglass di Galangan

The mini shipyard of the Department of Shipbuilding Engineering, which produces fiberglass ships in the Bengkalis area, is currently experiencing challenges in the manufacture of fiberglass shipmolds. The wood used often cracks or breaks at the bow because the wood is still stiff. The author has proposed a solution to this problem by designing a wood-forming support tool for the fiberglass ship molding process. This tool utilizes steam to make the wood more elastic, making it easier for workers at the mini shipyard to make fiberglass ship molds. The procurement of this tool is very beneficial for the mini shipyard workers in making ship molds, resulting in precise molds and expediting the construction of fiberglass ships.
