Abstract
Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) is a commonly utilized method in additive manufacturing. FDM is greatly affected by its printing parameters, which is why selecting the proper parameters is crucial for obtaining the desired properties of 3D printed parts. In this paper we have experimentally and statistically studied the influence of FDM 3D printing parameters (infill pattern, infill density and layer thickness) on tensile strength using Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) filament. Nine experiment runs were set using Taguchi’s method and the specimen were printed on an FDM 3D printer. Tensile strength tests were carried out using a Universal Testing Machine (UTM). Based on the results of tensile test, signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio) was found for maximizing the strength. The optimal values were determined using the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N ratio) and an analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results show that the optimal printing parameters are Honeycomb infill pattern with 90% infill density and 0.09mm layer thickness. According to ANOVA, infill density had maximum influence (40.35%) on tensile strength followed by layer thickness (35.04%) and infill pattern (12.89%) respectively.
