Now a days manufacturing trend has been changed from subtractive to additive. In additive manufacturing (3D Printing), layer by layer deposition occurs and final product can be obtained. The main advantages of additive manufacturing is to obtain customized product, complex geometry product.  This research investigates the optimization of tensile and flexural Strength of PETG filament in Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3-d printing by using of Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Specimens have been decided in accordance with ASTM standards for tensile and flexural checking out. Input parameters for the printer have been decided on based totally on literature evaluations and preliminary experiments. These parameters and their stages had been applied to layout an RSM-primarily based Design of Experiments (DoE). Following the DoE, specimens had been revealed and examined the usage of tensile and flexural trying out machines. The effects acquired were hired to expand mathematical fashions for tensile strength and flexural energy. These models facilitated the technology of contour plots, which were analyzed to recognize the dependency of output parameters on input parameters. Suitable tiers of enter parameters that yield specimens with most beneficial tensile and flexural electricity were recognized from the contour plots. Validation experiments confirmed the importance of the recognized parameter degrees, ensuring that they continuously produce specimens with perfect mechanical properties.

Keywords: Additive manufacturing, FDM, PETG, tensile strength, flexural strength.
