Description
Summary:This paper reported on the effect of ambient temperature, layer thickness, and part angle on the surface roughness and dimensional accuracy. The response surface methodology (RSM) was employed by using historical data in the experiment to determine the significant factors and their interactions on the fused deposition modelling (FDM) performance. Three controllable variables namely ambient temperature (30 °C, 45 °C, 60 °C), layer thickness (0.178 mm, 0.267 mm, 0.356 mm) and part angle (22.5°, 45°, 67.5°) have been studied. A total of 29 numbers of experiments had been conducted, including two replications at the center point. The results showed that all the parameter variables have significant effects on the part surface roughness and dimensional accuracy. Layer thickness is the most dominant factors affecting surface roughness. Meanwhile, the ambient temperature was the most dominant in determining part dimensional accuracy. The responses of various factors had been illustrated in the cross-sectional sample analysis. The optimum parameter required for minimum surface roughness and dimensional accuracy was at ambient temperature 30 °C, layer thickness 0.18 mm and part angle 67.38°. The optimization has produced maximum productivity with RaH 3.21 µm, RaV 11.78 µm, and RaS 12.79 µm. Meanwhile, dimensional accuracy height eror 3.21%, width error 3.70% and angle 0.38°
