Investigating the Impact of Productivity on Surface Roughness and Dimensional Accuracy in FDM 3D Printing

Abstract

Over the past three decades, 3D printing technologies have undergone significant advancements, revolutionizing various industries, such as automotive. Additive manufacturing has played a crucial role in reducing product development time and enabling the direct printing of functional parts. One of the key advantages of additive manufacturing is its ability to provide greater design freedom compared to traditional manufacturing methods. This means that complex geometries and varying material properties can be easily printed. In this research paper, the author focused on investigating the impact of layer thickness and part orientation on the surface roughness and accuracy of printed parts. The main objective was to identify the optimal combination of layer thickness and part orientation that would yield the best results in terms of surface roughness and accuracy, considering printing time as a variable. The results from printing time, accuracy and surface roughness measurements showed that the vertical orientation is the superior for cylindrical orientation.
