Abstract

The aim of this research is to determine the quality of parts manufactured by Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) method. FDM is one of the rapid prototyping techniques which use additive fabrication approach. The FDM machine used in this experiment are Mini Kossel 3D printer and Cube Pro 3D printer. The process parameters studied are print density, print pattern, shell option, raster angle, layer thickness and pattern spacing. The experiment focused more on pattern spacing because both FDM machine has the availability to modify the parameter. The quality of the parts produced was accessed in term of surface roughness, tensile strength and porosity. The surface roughness, tensile strength and porosity data were obtained by using Roughness Tester TR200, Instron Floor Mounted machine and Inverted Microscope respectively. The result shows as the pattern spacing process parameter are increased, the tensile strength tends to decreases. The pattern spacing also affects the value of porosity and roughness of test specimens.
