Abstract
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the field of 3D printing technology. Among the various technologies available, fused deposition modeling (FDM) has emerged as the most popular and widely used method. However, achieving optimal results with FDM presents a significant challenge due to the selection of appropriate process parameters. Therefore, the objective of this research was to investigate the impact of process parameters on the tribological and frictional behavior of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and polylactic acid (PLA) 3D-printed parts. The design of experiments (DOE) technique was used considering the input design parameters (infill percentage and layer thickness) as variables. The friction coefficient values and the wear were determined by experimental testing of the polymers on a universal tribometer employing plane friction coupling. Multi-response optimization methodology and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to highlight the dependency between the coefficient of friction, surface roughness parameters, and wear on the process parameters. The optimization analysis revealed that the optimal 3D printing input parameters for achieving the minimum coefficient of friction and linear wear were found to be an infill percentage of 50% and layer thickness of 0.1 mm (for ABS material), and an infill percentage of 50%, layer thickness of 0.15 mm (for PLA material). The suggested optimization methodology (which involves minimizing the coefficient of friction and cumulative linear wear) through the optimized parameter obtained provides the opportunity to select the most favorable design conditions contributing to a more sustainable approach to manufacturing by reducing overall material consumption.
