Experimental investigation on enhancing FDM slicing parameters for mechanical properties improvement.

A 3D printing slicer software cuts an object in numerous horizontal layers and produces a path a printhead can follow a "G-code" file that's tailored for the machine. This operation is critical, and the influence of parameters such as the type of infill pattern, infill density, shell settings, printing temperature, and the type of material are key factors that affect printing quality. This paper reports an experimental investigation of the dissimilarity on account of the mechanical properties of specimens that have been printed using various printing parameters profile namely Wall Line Count, Layer Thickness. Infill Density and Custom Infill Density via Ultimaker Cura Slicer using PLA (Polylactide Acid) as the filament. Upon analyzing specimens with different slicing profiles, there was a drastic variation on account of the mechanical. The ultimate tensile strength of the material varies from one profile to another. The variation in material usage and printing time was also recorded. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
