  Enhancement of Flexural Strength in FDM-Printed Components through Taguchi-Based Process Parameter Optimization

  By PVR Girish Kumar, R. Sudarshan, B. Srinivas Reddy, K. Satish Babu

  Abstract: Additive manufacturing (AM), especially Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), has emerged as a widely adopted and versatile method for producing three-dimensional components. The process involves the deposition of a thermoplastic filament in a semi-molten state, which solidifies in successive layers to form the final structure. While this method enables the production of complex geometries at relatively low cost, the printed parts often exhibit inferior surface quality and reduced mechanical performance compared …
