Process Parameter Optimization of FDM 3D Printer Using PETG and Carbon Fiber PETG

In the modern world, the difficulty of manufacturing has gradually decreased by many new technologies. 3D printing is one of those technologies which completely improved the flexibility of manufacturing to overcome any complex design where any complex part can be manufactured using different types of 3D printers with different materials indeed. 3D printers are differentiated by materials FDM is one of the 3D printers used to print plastic and composite materials. A CAD design is converted into STL file and sent to slicing software to check any tessellation errors. Component is then fed into MakerBot software to check for proper orientation and changing the printing parameters. 3D printers also have input parameters like conventional manufacturing process, which have high impact on the printed part. In this paper we mainly focused on Input parameters like printing temperature, layer thickness, raster angle is changed using Taguchi method to observe the changes in the material properties.
