Investigating Mechanical Properties of 3D-Printed Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol Material Under Fused Deposition Modeling
3D printing plays a crucial role in industry 4.0 as an evolving technology for manufacturing industries, which has broader applications in the fields of construction, medical, food, dental, and automotive sectors. The progress has been rapid in recent years, and it is important to find suitable materials as well as process parameters for its implementation straight away without any delay. The objective of the present work is to investigate the mechanical properties of polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) material for making products under fused deposition modeling (FDM). The effects of process parameters such as infill percentage, layer height and infill pattern are explored on the mechanical properties of polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) material used for the manufacture of specimens under FDM technology. The process parameters are set according to the Taguchi method of orthogonal array experimental design, and the specimens are manufactured for tensile, bending and hardness tests according to the ASTM standards. The mechanical properties for PETG material under FDM process are found to be better when the set of process parameters is selected at infill percentage of 80%, layer height of 0.3 mm and infill pattern of hexagonal as optimal parameters.
