Effect of Print Speed, Infill Pattern and Infill Density on Tensile Strength of Part Produced by ABS Filament Using FDM 3D Printing Technology

Abstract

A rapid emerging additive manufacturing technology for various engineering applications is fused deposition modelling (FDM). Several parameters affect the mechanical qualities of 3D printed materials using FDM technology. According to the literature, the density of infill, Infill Pattern and Print Speed, are the factors that directly affect the Tensile Strength of 3D printed materials. The effects of infill pattern and density and Print speed on tensile properties, and material used in 3D printing will all be examined and discussed in this article. There are a total of 16 different forms of infill pattern, and out of these 6 different types of infill pattern with varying infill densities from 20% to 100% and constant print speed of 80mm/min will be evaluated. To minimize the impact of other factors on the mechanical properties of the material, each specimen would be 3D printed using ABS material using the same color and 3D printing parameters, as well as in the same position on the printer bed. The results will provide us with a clearer idea of how to print objects in 3D as quickly as possible while still maintaining the necessary tensile qualities.
