  Optimization of Process Parameter in 3D Printing to Minimize Wear Loss and increase Tensile Strength

  By Mayank Kumar Tiwari, Vivek Singh, Sachin Srivastava, Dharmendra Kumar Dubey, Mahendra Pratap Yadav, Suraj Kumar

  Abstract: Additive Manufacturing (AM) and especially Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) has emerged as a very versatile process of manufacturing polymer components with complex and highly-integrated geometries. Polylactic Acid (PLA) is a favorite of the many thermoplastic FDM materials because of its biodegradability, easy processing and predictable mechanical properties. The study aimed at maximizing critical parameters in FDM process in order to reduce wear loss and also increase tensile strength of PLA …
