Enhancing Dimensional Accuracy in Fused Filament Fabrication:A DOE Approach

Abstract

3D printing is widely used in various fields and industries and is one of the most popular methods. Most popular advantage of this method is its flexibility in printing complex shapes and sizes. Quality is one of the important aspects when using this kind of technology which has a high advantage of printing complex shapes as this includes many factors like temperature, speed, material, infill types etc. In this paper one such analysis has been done by 3D printing parts under different factors. Analysis is done on how scaling factors affect the dimensions like height and diameter of a 3D printed part and check factors affecting these variations using Design of Experiments (DOE) analysis.
