Taguchi method is applied to reduce the number of test, determined the optimum process parameters for high mechanical behaviors, low printing time, and product weight. Analytical methods such as Signal/Noise ratio, regression analysis, and variance analysis were used to evaluate the effects of three-dimensional (3D) printing parameters on mechanical behaviors and printing time. The results showed that the optimum 3D printing parameters for the strength were filament material of PET-G, layer thickness of 0.25 mm, and raster angle of 45 degrees. The raster angle of 45 degrees is the optimum mechanical behaviors at each individual layer when compared to other raster angles of 30 degrees and 60 degrees. Finally, statistical study was performed for prediction of mechanical behaviors and printing time of products.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessFDMmechanical behaviorsprinting timeTaguchiDesignPartsStrengthArticle424393401WOS:000695647500006Q4
