Investigation of the effect of layer thickness and infill material percentage on the performance of low-cost and commercial fused deposition modelling / Muhammad Syamsuzzaman Shamsuddin

Rapid prototyping (RP) technology is a new field in the manufacturing process. Unlike conservative manufacturing processes which are subtractive manufacturing process, RP applies an additive manufacturing approach. The layer-by-layer process mechanism of RP allows this technology to create comple...
