Abstract

To evaluate the sound insulation capacity of small panels made of polymeric materials by 3D printing, a Taguchi L18-type factorial experiment with eight independent variables was designed and materialized. The independent variables were the panel thickness, polymer material type, 3D printing speed, infill percent, infill pattern, layer thickness, frequency, and sound volume. Empirical mathematical models were determined through the mathematical processing of the experimental results using specialized software. These empirical mathematical models highlight the meaning and intensity of the influence exerted by the input factors in the process on the acoustic pressure level of the energy absorbed after the passage of sounds through the small panels manufactured by 3D printing from polylactic acid and polyethylene terephthalate glycol. The factor with the strongest influence was the frequency of the sounds, with a maximum of the sound pressure level for a frequency of 13,000 Hz. A polylactic acid panel between the sound source and the sound-receiving sensor reduces the sound pressure level by about 45% from 95.8 to 65.8 dB. The power function type mathematical model in the case of the energy absorbed by the panel highlights the fact that the highest values of the exponents are those attached to the sound frequency (exponent equal to 1.616) and, respectively, to the thickness of the panel (exponent equal to −0.121).
