The broad spectrum of 3D printing materials available makes the selection of the optimal material a complex and critical task. In this context, the present work employs the AHP and VIKOR method, a well-regarded Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) approach, to streamline this selection process. The study evaluates ten different materials based on eight essential mechanical properties: density, tensile strength, flexural strength, hardness and melting temperature. The AHP and VIKOR method facilitates an informed decision-making process by systematically ranking the materials based on multiple criteria.

摘要

The broad spectrum of 3D printing materials available makes the selection of the optimal material a complex and critical task. In this context, the present work employs the AHP and VIKOR method, a well-regarded Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) approach, to streamline this selection process. The study evaluates ten different materials based on eight essential mechanical properties: density, tensile strength, flexural strength, hardness and melting temperature. The AHP and VIKOR method facilitates an informed decision-making process by systematically ranking the materials based on multiple criteria. Furthermore, this study investigates the impact of equal-weight assignment strategies on the material selection outcome. This comprehensive approach aids in identifying the optimum  material for 3D printing applications.
