Optimizing process parameters for enhanced mechanical performance in 3D printed impellers using graphene-reinforced polylactic acid (G-PLA) filament
摘要
Additive manufacturing, especially 3D printing, has changed the production landscape, minimizing waste while allowing layers to build up. The selection of optimal process parameters will be done to achieve higher mechanical properties and quick production. This article aims to find the optimal parameters for creating impellers using G-PLA filament during 3D printing using spice logic AHP in decision making. The optimal parameters found are: 70 % infill density, 0.15 mm layer height, 60 mm/s print speed, 95 °C heat bed, 245 °C extruder, and 95 mm/s travel speed. These results prove that the selection of proper parameter values strongly enhances the performance of printed parts significantly, especially for critical applications demanding high mechanical strength as well as precision.
