Effect of Fused Deposition Modelling Parameters on the Mechanical Properties of ABS/GP Parts: An Experimental Approach

The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of process parameters on ABS/GP parts made by fused deposition modeling (FDM). Several parameters of the FDM process affect the parts produced, such as part build orientation, layer height, raster width, infill percentage, and infill pattern. To achieve these objectives, it is necessary to gain a better understanding of the process parameters of FDM to reduce the building time, increase mechanical strength, and enhance part quality. The effect of process parameters on the specimen's tensile strength and modulus of elasticity is investigated using Taguchi's design of experiment (DOE) and analysis of variance (ANOVA). Analyzing experimental data led to the identification of optimal parameters.
