Abstract:Purpose: The purpose of this study is to optimize the influence of 3D printing processing parameters on the ultimate tensile strength of 3D printed Polylactic Acid (PLA) parts. The objective is to develop predictive models to help predict and attain optimised mechanical strength integrity of 3D printed parts.
Design/Methodology/Approach: In the present study, 3D printed PLA samples were modelled and fabricated using carefully selected processing parameters-processing speed, processing temperature and noz… Show more
