Abstract

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is a technique used to build rapid prototypes out of thermoplastic materials. Printing technology continues to mature from a rapid prototyping process to a rapid manufacturing technique, therefore predicting printed part behavior has become increasingly desirable. This study aims to determine the relation between the process parameters and associated temperature history and the strength of printed parts. A combined analytical and experimental approach was used for studying and prediction properties of printed parts. The results indicate that process parameters and temperature history have a significant impact on the behavior of printed parts. Further research is needed to identify other factors that could improve the effectiveness of printed part behavior.
