Experimental Analysis on FDM–3D Printing Process Parameters Optimization to Enhance Tensile Strength with PLA Material

Three-dimensional (3D) printing technology has been successfully adopted in fascinating business including construction of buildings, manufacturing car parts, and medical related items. One of such additive manufacturing methods is fusion deposition modeling used to create the prototypes and intricate and complex shaped products. It is attracting many developed areas due to its ability to shorten product development cycles while avoiding the usage of costly instruments and tools. However, limited dimensional precision, poor surface quality, insufficient part strength, and insufficient mechanical qualities limit FDM's applicability. The features of FDM-created components and parts are influenced by process parameters such as layer thickness, raster width, build orientation, and print speed. The best and most optimal combinations of process parameters must be chosen. To evaluate the quality of the final product, a thorough review of pre-processing is required. The range of process parameters must be defined in line with the components of FDM machines. The various parameters differ depending on the machine type, nozzle diameter, and filament type. Setting the process settings correctly is thought to improve the quality of a three-dimensional (3D) printed component, potentially reducing post-manufacturing efforts.
