Abstract

This research examines the impact of extruder temperature, layer thickness, and infill density on surface roughness in Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printing. The study finds that higher extruder temperatures and thinner layers result in smoother surface finishes, while infill density has a minor effect on surface roughness. A linear model is developed to establish the relationship between these parameters and surface roughness, enabling accurate predictions. Optimal parameter values for minimizing surface roughness are determined for the component. The recommended values for the component are an extruder temperature of 249.79℃, a layer thickness of 0.31 mm, and an infill density of 85.32%. These findings have practical implications for the additive manufacturing industry, allowing manufacturers to enhance the surface quality of 3D-printed components. By optimizing these parameters, functionality and aesthetics can be improved. This research contributes to quality control and process optimization in 3D printing, encouraging the broader adoption of this technology across various sectors.
