Abstract
En 中文
The main objective of this study is to compare the effect of printing parameters on mechanical and thermal properties of both polymers Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate (ASA) and Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS). Specimen were MEX (Material extrusion) printed. A Taguchi design of experiments (DOE) was used to systematically evaluate the effect of printing parameters on thermal and mechanical properties of each one the materials aforementioned. L9 orthogonal arrays trial series was defined. The specimens were printed varying the infill pattern, the infill density, the nozzle temperature (printing temperature) and the printing speed. Three levels of variations are applied on each one of the four factors. The TGA, tensile testing, and impact strength testing has been investigated. TGA analysis revealed slight variations in thermal stability, with residual weight values from approximately 97.1 to 96.9 wt% for ASA and from 98.3 to 98.0 wt% for ABS depending on the selected printing parameters. The most impactful effect was infill density for both materials for tensile strength response and for impact strength response for ABS. Meanwhile, for ASA’s impact strength response the impactful effect was printing speed. For the prediction analysis, the error between experimental and theoretical values are minimal, validating model reliability.
