Abstract:
Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is a practical 3D printing technology to print thermoplastic and composite materials. The FDM 3D printing process has gained substantial attention due to its capability to produce complex and accurate components. Recently, the wood particles-based filament in 3D printing has become a subject of interest, which is due to their prominent advantages, such as thermal resistivity, corrosion resistivity, biodegradable characteristics, and being environmentally friendly. Therefore, this research study aims to investigate the mechanical properties and statistical prediction model development for coconut wood每polylactic acid (PLA). The experimental investigation was carried out according to the ASTM standards (tensile〞ASTM D638 Type 1, compression〞ASTM D695, and bending〞ASTM D790) at different infill densities (25, 50, and 70%) and five different infill patterns. The obtained results proved that concentric infill pattern accompanied by 75% infill percentage achieved the most outstanding tensile and bending behavior. For compression testing, grid infill pattern accompanied by 75% infill percentage exhibits maximum compression properties. In overall, the octagram spiral infill pattern shows the weakest properties among all the infill patterns. The experimental results were further analyzed using response surface methodology to identify the effectiveness of studied parameters on mechanical properties and to derive a mathematical model. The derived mathematical models related to studied mechanical properties have been proposed to predict the desired mechanical properties with respect to the variation of infill patterns and percentages.
