Abstract

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of printing parameters and their interactions on the mechanical properties of ABS-based specimen, 3D printed by fused deposition modeling (FDM), using the response surface method. The manufacturing direction (X, Y, or Z) and the deposition angle (0°, 30°, or 45°) are analyzed as input factors. The Young modulus, the yield stress, the tensile strength, and the deformation at fracture in tension are considered as responses. An empirical model for each response is built in terms of factors and their interactions. The predicted results are in good coherence with experimental ones. The original contribution of this paper consists in the evaluation of the optimal combination of manufacturing parameters thanks to the MINITAB software.
