The objective of this project is to investigate the effect of PDC cutter geometry and optimize them. An intensive study in cutter geometry would further enhance the ROP performance. The relatively extended analysis was carried out and four significant geometry factors have been identified that directly improved the ROP. Cutter size, back rake angle, side rake angle and chamfer angle are the stated geometry factors. An appropriate optimization technique that effectively controls all influential geometry factors during cutters manufacturing is introduced and adopted in this project. By adopting L9 Taguchi OA, simulation experiment is conducted by using explicit dynamics finite element analysis. Through a structure Taguchi analysis, ANOVA confirms that the most significant geometry to improve ROP is cutter size (99.16 percentage contribution). The optimized cutter is expected to drill with high ROP that can reduce the rig time, which in its turn, may reduce the total drilling cost. © 2017 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. date: 2017 publisher: Institute of Physics Publishing official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85034270170&doi=10.1088%2f1742-6596%2f908%2f1%2f012041&partnerID=40&md5=8066b4462f65f494bbe6adcc093a762e id_number: 10.1088/1742-6596/908/1/012041 full_text_status: none publication: Journal of Physics: Conference Series volume: 908 number: 1 refereed: TRUE issn: 17426588 citation: Jamaludin, A.A. and Mehat, N.M. and Kamaruddin, S.
