“…Decision making with respect to material-process selection is recognized as a critical issue and has been addressed using knowledge-based approaches [4]. Amongst the above processes, FDM has been well-known for its specialty in producing plastic parts [5], and compared to other plastics-oriented AM processes, FDM can be conducted with less expensive equipment, simple operations, and high stability [6]. As reported, FDM accounts for about 30% of the installed AM systems worldwide [7].…”

Fused deposition modeling (FDM) processed Poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) materials are widely used in aerospace, automobile, biomedical, and electronics industries and other industries due to their excellent mechanical properties, thermal properties, chemical resistance, wear resistance, and biocompatibility, etc. However, the manufacture of PEEK materials and parts utilizing the FDM process faces the challenge of fine-tuning a list of process parameters and heat treatment conditions to reach the best-suiting mechanical properties and microstructures. It is non-trivial to make the selection only according to theoretical analysis while counting on a vast number of experiments is the general situation. Therefore, in this paper, the extrusion rate, filling angle, and printing orientation are investigated to adjust the mechanical properties of 3D-printed PEEK parts; then, a variety of heat treatment conditions were applied to tune the crystallinity and strength. The results show that the best mechanical performance is achieved at 1.0 times the extrusion rate, varied angle cross-fillings with ±10° intervals, and vertical printing. Horizontal printing performs better with reduced warpage. Additionally, both crystallinity and mechanical properties are significantly improved after heat treatment, and the best state is achieved after holding at 300 °C for 2 h. The resulting tensile strength is close to 80% of the strength of injection-molded PEEK parts.

“…For 3D-printed parts, improving mechanical properties is a topic that has acquired great importance in recent years [ 7 , 8 ]. Several research papers have studied the correlation between printing parameters and mechanical properties, such as the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) [ 9 , 10 , 11 ], even after recycling cycles [ 12 ] or changes in the color of the filament [ 13 ].…”

“…From the intelligent systems design standpoint there are numerous publications where several sensor array implementations have been utilized to enhance the autoregulation of the process parameters; nevertheless, there are few publications where the interconnection between parameters and process regulation systems simultaneously portray mechanical property relations. In 2022, Castillo et al [ 7 ] published a review on smart manufacturing technologies applied to the material extrusion 3D printing process, where the need of a CPPS is an alternative solution to enhance and control the mechanical properties of 3D printing based on parameter monitoring for several materials. In this previous analysis, there is an extensive review of publications that correlate mechanical properties with 3D printing processing parameters.…”

The material extrusion 3D printing process known as fused deposition modeling (FDM) has recently gained relevance in the additive manufacturing industry for large-scale part production. However, improving the real-time monitoring of the process in terms of its mechanical properties remains important to extend the lifespan of numerous critical applications. To enhance the monitoring of mechanical properties during printing, it is necessary to understand the relationship between temperature profiles and ultimate tensile strength (UTS). This study uses a cyber–physical production system (CPPS) to analyze the impact of four key thermal parameters on the tensile properties of polylactic acid (PLA). Layer thickness, printing speed, and extrusion temperature are the most influential factors, while bed temperature has less impact. The Taguchi L-9 array and the full factorial design of experiments were implemented along with the deposited line’s local fused temperature profile analysis. Furthermore, correlations between temperature profiles with the bonding strength during layer adhesion and part solidification can be stated. The results showed that layer thickness is the most important factor, followed by printing speed and extrusion temperature, with very close influence between each other. The lowest impact is attributed to bed temperature. In the experiments, the UTS values varied from 46.38 MPa to 56.19 MPa. This represents an increase in the UTS of around 17% from the same material and printing design conditions but different temperature profiles. Additionally, it was possible to observe that the influence of the parameter variations was not linear in terms of the UTS value or temperature profiles. For example, the increase in the UTS at the 0.6 mm layer thickness was around four times greater than the increase at 0.4 mm. Finally, even when it was found that an increase in the layer temperature led to an increase in the value of the UTS, for some of the parameters, it could be observed that it was not the main factor that caused the UTS to increase. From the monitoring conditions analyzed, it was concluded that the material requires an optimal thermal transition between deposition, adhesion, and layer solidification in order to result in part components with good mechanical properties. A tracking or monitoring system, such as the one designed, can serve as a potential tool for reducing the anisotropy in part production in 3D printing systems.
