Abstract

As 3D printing is increasing rapidly and enhancing product growth, filament extrusion has becoming very popular and important due to the 3D printing manufacturers need to continually satisfy the demands of printing and retain an appropriate quantity and quality of filament stock. A good quality filament is very important to get the best result for printed models. This thesis will be working on the optimization of the temperature parameter for filament extrusion process in an attempt to obtain a consistent filament diameter which is l.75mm with the tolerances ±0.03mm. A filament that does not have a perfectly round shape will not consider as a good filament because according to the literature research, one of the important features for a good 3D print is constant filament roundness along the spools. Without the perfect round shape, will only resulting in a serious extruder failure. In this thesis, the optimum desired outcome could be obtained with regard to the filament quality by increasing the temperature of the extrusion because increased the temperatures can result in a smoother surface, eliminating the swelled and not completely melted areas throughout the length of the filament
