ABSTRACT

3D printing has revolutionized rapid prototyping and small-scale production, with Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) emerging as a prominent method among various techniques. FDM utilizes thermoplastic filaments like Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) to build objects layer by layer from digital designs. The proposed methodology is applied to a case study involving the design and manufacturing of an ABS plastic component with specific elastic behavior requirements. Through systematic experimentation and analysis, the optimal set of material parameters and process parameters are identified, leading to improved elastic performance while considering the inherent uncertainties in the system. Comparative analyses demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the fuzzy TOPSIS-based approach over traditional optimization techniques. This study delves into the elastic behaviors of ABS plastic and its optimization for enhanced performance. By employing techniques such as Fuzzy TOPSIS, the research aims to improve ABS plastic's elastic modulus, tensile strength, and hardness other pertinent properties. Initial experimentation involves evaluating ABS plastic's elasticity under diverse conditions, considering factors like temperature, pressure, and material composition. Subsequent analysis identifies key parameters influencing ABS plastic's elasticity, paving the way for optimization using Fuzzy TOPSIS.
