Abstract

Rapid developments in 3D printing technology have dramatically changed a wide range of industries, from consumer products and healthcare to automotive and aerospace. 3D printing is a process of manufacturing where material is deposited layer over layer which are previously deposited to provide the design shape to the desired products. This process has eliminated the numerous machining processes which were required to manufacture the products previously. The modification of process parameters during printing is a significant element influencing the performance and quality of 3D printed products. This in-depth review study seeks to investigate and evaluate how different process parameters distress the general effectiveness, precision of 3D printing. We look at how factors like height of layer, speed of printing, and setting of temperature, infill density, material characteristics, and more affect the final product. We provide insightful information for academics, engineers, and practitioners to successfully optimize their 3D printing processes and obtain improved results by synthesizing findings from many studies and trials. This review paper’s major goal is to provide an in-depth description of recent research on improved statistical and experimental design approaches for printed components made of various materials, including PLA, ABS, PET-G, and others, as well as how manufacturing parameters influence surface quality and tensile strength.

Keywords: 3D printer, additive manufacturing, process parameters, PLA, ABS.
