Through innovative technology education, this research seeks to integrate Taiwan's local culture and history and explores the aboriginal swords and weapons that have declined with the change of the times. Researchers restore their traditional value and revitalize it again through digital and vocational technology and craft design techniques. Taiwan recognizes as the birthplace of Austronesian culture. In recent years, the aboriginal culture there has gradually received international attention and has an opportunity for recovery; however, the design and reproduction of weapons, especially knives, are limited. The law defines it as an offensive weapon, so it is difficult to promote. Because of this, this research is looking forward to real-life role-playing. Starting from the local history and legends of the Kaxabu tribe, we will use soft foam as the material to make non-lethal model weapons. We hope that through cultural education, the purpose of promoting the New Reality Movement. Therefore, the team used lightweight, innovative foam and glass fiber materials to produce weapons with full visual design effects. Allow young people in the vocational and technical education field to absorb and understand knowledge in a newer way while being exposed to traditional culture. © 2023 Author(s).
