Study of Industry-oriented Analytic Hierarchy Process Applications on Mold Combine 3D Printing Product for Vocational College Students

Abstract

Abstract. While industry-oriented applications have been extensively investigated, the mold combination 3D printing product creativity for vocational college students is unexplored. First, this study collects the status of mold technology and 3D printing in various countries, the scope of technical knowledge of molds and the relevant literature on creativity performance. In addition, this study involves a quantitative and qualitative content analysis of relevant documents, textbooks and educational objectives of mold performance creativity, which includes mold technology, 3D printing design and production, industry-oriented applications in three hierarchies and 21 indexes. Second, this study assesses these criteria by employing the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) technique to solicit opinions from 11 experts by using questionnaires. Results show that mold technology, 3D printing design and production, industry-oriented applications have weights of 34%, 32.4%, 33.6%, respectively.
