Effects of printing parameters on the mechanical characteristics and mathematical modeling of FDM-printed PETG

3D printing technology has revolutionized free-form construction and customization demand through its ease of use, fast production, accurate, regulated deposition, and flexibility with soft functional materials. Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is an ideal technique for the 3D printing of plastics. T...

description 3D printing technology has revolutionized free-form construction and customization demand through its ease of use, fast production, accurate, regulated deposition, and flexibility with soft functional materials. Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is an ideal technique for the 3D printing of plastics. The low cost, high prototyping precision, and ease of use make it a popular additive manufacturing process. The dimensional stability, quality, functionality, and properties of printed specimens are all affected by the process parameters used in the FDM technology. As such, the present work investigates the effect of the infill pattern and infill density on the PETG mechanical characteristics. The work also finds the optimum parameters to enhance the mechanical properties using the response surface methodology (RSM). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to study micro-surface defects under different processing conditions.
