Lattice structures play a key role in influencing the mechanical and thermal properties of many applications. Knowing the importance of lattice structure and its influence on mechanical and thermal properties, this article discussed the triply periodic minimal surface-based gyroid shapes, their design, manufacturability, and difficulties while printing with the additive manufacturing process. This review also emphasizes the impact of changing the structure and additive manufacturing process parameters like porosity, wall thickness, unit cell size, infill, and gradient ratio on the mechanical and thermal properties of the printed parts. This study discussed the advantages and disadvantages of replacing conventional structures with bio-inspired gyroid structures and their effects on mechanical and thermal properties. This review also brought a comparative study between gyroid and other existing lattice structures in terms of mechanical and thermal properties and suggestions are been made to use gyroid shapes compared to existing lattice structures for improved thermal mechanical for different applications like biomedical, structural, and heat transfer fields. In this review article, a multitude of research areas could help the researcher to easily decide the appropriate application-based gyroid structure.

“…In terms of a manufacturing process, 3D printing starts by creating a 3D geometry using the Computer Aided Design (CAD) software, followed by programming a process instruction using the slicing software, and finally producing the geometry by loading the programmed instructions to the FFF machine [12]. From these flow processes, many factors need to be considered to produce good quality printed parts.…”

Plastic 3D printing is currently in-trend for producing custom parts and products with intricate geometry. Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) is one of the preferred technologies, as it requires a simple operation with affordable equipment setup. Previous studies have achieved many breakthroughs in using FFF. To successfully produce parts using the FFF machine, a slicing software is required to provide instructions to the machine. Currently, numerous slicing software are available in the market that can be integrated to the FFF machine. Each slicing software has a slightly different performance compared with others. Therefore, careful consideration should be taken when choosing the most suitable slicing software for the machine in use. In this work, three slicing software, namely, Ultimaker Cura 4.8.0, Cura 2.7.0, and PrusaSlicer have been chosen to investigate their effect on the manufacturing performance of 3D printed parts. The parameters for evaluating manufacturing performance were accuracy of the slicing software in predicting printing time, the dimensional accuracy of the printed parts, and the surface roughness of the printed parts. The effect of printing speed was also investigated at three levels, which were at 20, 40, and 60 mm/s. In this work, the 3D Espresso F220 machine was used. The geometry of the printed parts followed the ASTM D638 Type I geometry using polylactic acid (PLA) filament material. The results showed that Ultimaker Cura 4.8.0 can produce the best results, if the priority of the producer is to use a software with high accuracy in printing time prediction and better surface quality. However, if the priority of the process is to produce small dimensional errors (close tolerance to designed geometry), the characteristics of the dimension (length, width, or thickness) need to be identified. Ultimaker Cura 4.8.0 produced small errors when the critical dimension was width, but Cura 2.7.0 was good for length dimension, while PrusaSlicer was good for thickness dimension. The results also showed that printing speed can affect the time of completion of the printed parts and the surface quality. The lowest printing speed was able to produce parts with better surface quality; however, printing time can become longer.

“…ANOVA and Taguchi method are involved and by experimentation the printing plain showed magnificent changes on part thickness yield strength processing time and tensile strength by Camposeco-Negrete Et.al [4]. Siddique Et.al found in their experimentation the process optimization is dependent on the parameters like extrusion and optimizing speed of the printer study also showed low cost solution for major factor in the engineering field by using a design purpose simulation software called Rhinoceros 3d [6].The maximum strength to cost ratio on FDM printer are made out of the Nylon 12 considering the process parameters the flexural and tensile strengths are considered by the volume and building time are being observed in this procedure infill density stands second only for the time taken to print the specimen is considerably high with other change in parameters which is directly proportional more the infill density more the printing time taken layer thickness stands first in the entire procedure including other three parameters has the control of 80% response values L18 orthogonal array is used to simplify the process by Khaled G. Mostafa Et.al [11]. improving the part quality of SLS printed components the experimentation is done using Taguchi technique, this method mainly focused on three parameters optimization such as Laser power, Temperature and Part Orientation the optimal results for this process are Laser power 18.5kW, Temperature 171°C, Part Orientation 90° by Nitish Kumar Et.al [13].…”

In the modern world, the difficulty of manufacturing has gradually decreased by many new technologies. 3D printing is one of those technologies which completely improved the flexibility of manufacturing to overcome any complex design where any complex part can be manufactured using different types of 3D printers with different materials indeed. 3D printers are differentiated by materials FDM is one of the 3D printers used to print plastic and composite materials. A CAD design is converted into STL file and sent to slicing software to check any tessellation errors. Component is then fed into MakerBot software to check for proper orientation and changing the printing parameters. 3D printers also have input parameters like conventional manufacturing process, which have high impact on the printed part. In this paper we mainly focused on Input parameters like printing temperature, layer thickness, raster angle is changed using Taguchi method to observe the changes in the material properties.
