---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract - FDM (Fused deposition modelling) is the manufacturing technique in which product is built layer by layer with help
of 3D printers by deposition of heated material through a nozzle. It can produce complex shapes which are nearly impossible to build through conventional subtractive manufacturing processes, also it is more efficient, economical, cheap and can produce wide variety of products. On the other hand, it has several major limitations like limited options of material, dimensional accuracy and surface finishing, poor material strength, and slow rate of production. Numerous research studies are ongoing on study to enhance the usage of FDM in different operational environments. Multiple researchers concentrated on composite materials such as carbon fibre composite, glass fibre reinforced composite, metal composites, polymer composites, and ceramic composites. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive review of substantial progress has been made in developing a range of samples and optimization of printing parameters for FDM.
Key Words: Additive manufacturing, process parameters, fused deposition modelling, composite materials, tensile and flexural strength
1. INTRODUCTION The 3D Printing, a rapidly evolving additive manufacturing technology, has the potential to revolutionize the manufacturing industry by significantly reducing production time compared to traditional methods. With ongoing advancements, it is expected that 3D printers will soon dominate the market, replacing traditional manufacturing processes and initiating a new industrial revolution [1]. Additive manufacturing also known as 3D printing is one of the most revolutionary technology which permits the fabrication of the physical object by adding the material layer by layer to form a desired object which exactly similar to conventional subtractive manufacturing processes like laser cutting, CNC machining, milling machine cutting which ultimately facilitates the user with several benefits like Design freedom- 3D printing allows the tedious and intricate geometries which are very difficult or more likely impossible to accomplish with subtractive manufacturing. Material efficiency- the subtractive manufacturing process generates remarkable amount of material waste because of elimination of unwanted excess material, whereas additive manufacturing is very material effective because it consumes only required amount of material to generate an end product. Cost effectiveness of complex parts- conventional subtractive manufacturing process involves multiple steps, specialized tools and longer production time which eventually results in high costs of product but, the additive manufacturing can merge multiple components in the single printed object which also decreases assembly time as well as time. CustomizationAdditive manufacturing allows the generation of exclusive and personalized parts as per the individual requirements and preference. Reduced tooling costs- Additive manufacturing eliminates the requirements of specialized tools for custom parts or batch production as it is needed in conventional manufacturing method. Vishal N. Patel et al. conducted a review on the parametric optimization of the Fused Deposition Modelling process in rapid prototyping technology, focusing on different parameters such as layer thickness, air gap, raster width, raster orientation, and mechanical properties, and reviewing various studies that investigated the effects of these parameters on mechanical properties, surface roughness, build orientation, and quality of FDM parts [2] . The method for creating high-quality ABS wire as a feedstock filament for FDM is presented in this paper by examining the effects of extrusion parameters. This method produces ABS wire with favorable mechanical and thermal properties, printability, and bed adhesion, indicating its potential for industrial applications in the automotive, aerospace, and medical sectors [3].
2. Additive Manufacturing Process: Additive manufacturing is the class of technology which automatically design the model using CAD data. In recent years, additive manufacturing process has found various applications in many industrial as well as commercial sectors. ABS and PLA are the most commonly used filaments in 3D printing both of them provide high quality materials in their own ways [4]. We can use various reinforcing materials to enhance the mechanical, thermal, and flame-retardant properties like glass fiber-reinforced modeling
