In Additive manufacturing techniques, the prominent method is Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM), where the material is heated, injected and deposited layer by layer through the nozzle. The main objective of this project is to test and characterize the behavior of 3D printed polymer ABS and to investigate on the process parameters of FDM. To observe hardness, production time of 3D printed ABS polymer, and to analyze the parameters using Taguchi and ANOVA techniques. The Taguchi analysis for hardness test reveals that the density is directly proportional to hardness and layer height doesn't affect the hardness much. The Taguchi analysis for production time infers that production time is inversely proportional to layer height and velocity while density is directly proportional to production time. In this taguchi technique 9 experiments were conducted and to test for hardness trial1, trial2, trial3 are done with maintaining dwell time of 10 seconds of each trial. From ANOVA results for hardness test, Density contributes (72.47%) is far higher than the other two parameters. The production time is more dependent on the Velocity since its contribution percentage is 53.25%. The component which has a high density (100%) and lower layer height (0.1mm) has the greatest hardness of 14.48 HV. The component which has greater layer height (0.3mm) and the higher velocity (30mm/s) takes very less production time of 14 minutes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
