Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is a well-liked additive fabrication method used to manufacture prototypes and components in industries. The quality of the 3D printed component depends on the temperature profile between the layers of the printed components and the process parameters. The deviations in the quality of manufactured components can be established using tools of metrology, including Coordinate-Measuring Machine and Machine Vision. This research is to determine the effect of temperature on the aforementioned phenomenon by using collected data to build a predictive model. The leading factor effect intrigue is stressed for the correlative closeness coefficient (Cn*) and Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution(TOPSIS). The most favorable combinations of the experiment were obtained from the response diagram at a layer thickness of 0.3 mm, print speed of 80 mm/sec, and infill percentage of 20%. It is noted that the parameters have a contribution of 55.60%, 33.16%, and 0.15%, respectively. The majority of agreeable combinations of the investigations were acquired from the main factor effect response diagram, a layer thickness of 0.3 mm, printing FDM speed of 80 mm/sec, and an infill percentage of material is 20% for maximizing the temperature gradient and minimizing shrinkage and warpage. A fuzzy logic expert system was used to predict the shrinkage allowances precisely with less than 5% error.
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.
