Abstract

The quality of FDM produced parts is significantly affected by various parameters used in the process. In this present work three important process parameters of the FDM process such as layer thickness, part build orientation and raster width are consider. Their influence on three responses such as percentage change in length, percentage change in width and percentage change in thickness of the test specimens are studied with material of polycarbonate. The powerful Taguchi’s method is used for design of experiments because of it can be provide simplification of design plan and reduced the number of experiments runs. Specimens are prepared for dimensional accuracy as per ASTM standard. With the help of statistical approach of Anova, Regression and Optimization it concludes the results.
