3D Printing (3DP) is an umbrella term that covers manufacturing technologies and processes that offer a wide spectrum of producing components and parts of a variety of materials. 3DP is bound to revolutionize design, breaking barriers of geopolitical terrains, economic tendencies, and social status of nations. With the inception of new technologies and processes, it becomes a challenging task for the researchers to investigate the effect of process parameters on performance measures (quality and functionality) and their best combination that yields desired results, in terms of quality characteristics. Researchers have established a relationship between process parameters and performance measures and also suggested a suitable combination of input parameters that yield desired results. In this paper, an attempt has been made to present an overview of the recent research that identified the importance of process parameters, their effect, and optimization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
