Prototype Design of Parallette Equipment for Callisthenic Sports with PLA (Polylactic Acid) Filament Material Using 3D Printer

Abstract

Nowadays, sport is not only a necessity but also a lifestyle. Sport is not only done outdoors but can also be
done independently indoors. One exercise that is easy to do independently is calisthenics. In general,
calisthenics can be done with a tool called a parallette. Parallette equipment manufacturers currently still
use wood materials and conventional production processes and do not have product variations. A potential
production process that can be adapted to make parallette equipment is additive manufacturing 3D printers
with PLA (Polylactic Acid) filament material. The process is carried out through several stages: 3D design,
printing using a 3D printer, assembly, and finishing. The production process of a parallette tool with a 3D
printer takes a standard time of 3123.02 minutes. The longest time occurs when printing with a 3D printer
for grip parts (2 parts) and parallette legs (4 parts). The gross production cost for a set of parallette
equipment is Rp. 101,327. Production of calisthenic equipment with PLA (Polylactic Acid) filament
material using a 3D printer can be used as an alternative to replace wood-based parallette products with
conventional manufacturing processes. Sports equipment manufacturers can also use this product as a
choice and variety offered to customers.
