Abstract

Research in 3D printing technology is growing immensely because of the advantage of manufacturing complex shapes in less time as compared to conventional manufacturing processes. However, warpage and cracking are the critical issues in fused deposition modeling technique which results in a reduction in the strength of the component. This paper aims to address the root causes for reducing the warpage and cracking in a 3D printed component. Fused-deposition-modeling-based 3D printer is used in this study to manufacture the samples. The behavior of warpage and cracking in the specimens are studied by altering bed temperature and extrusion width of the filament. The experimental results revealed that printing a component at 100 °C and 0.75 mm extrusion width led to minimum warpage and no crack condition.
