Production development of traditional Malay boat for tourism / Muhammad Hariz Mohd Zakaria

The traditional Malay Bedar boat is an important element of Malaysia's maritime heritage, but its survival is threatened by a lack of skilled craftsmen, insufficient technical documentation, and the expensive cost of traditional materials. The study focuses on creating a precise production plan with Rhinoceros 3D software and building a scaled model with 3D printing to determine its suitability as a preservation strategy. The Bedar boat was digitally modelled with Rhinoceros 3D software, and a prototype was built to test its accuracy, durability, and material efficiency.
