Abstract

The lattice structure is used to enhance the strength of light-weighted material and 3D printing is a good method to produce light-weighted lattice structure. This research focuses on the compressive strength of 3D printed polymer lattice structure using different combinations of process parameters which are layer resolution, print strength, print pattern and strut diameter. The Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) polymer is used as the 3D printing material in this research. The 3D printed lattice structure specimens are then tested by using lnstron compression test with ASTM D695 standard. The result reveals that specimen with identification (lD) of 07SoH12 has the highest strength compared to the others. The data and results from compression test are then inserted into Minitab software to obtain the optimization of the experiment and the SIN ratio shows that the specimen fabricated by using the combinations of 70 ~ layer resolutions, almost solid print strength, cross or honeycomb print pattern and 1.2 mm strut diameter has the highest strength.
