Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is one of the RP technique in which a plastic filament is melted in the extruder of the 3D printer and deposited on the build platform of the 3D printer to form the object layer by layer. Part quality and mechanical properties of the FDM fabricated parts extensively depends on process variable parameters such as layer thickness, raster angle, part orientation, raster width, air gap. Hence, selection and optimization of FDM process parameters is vital. The aim and objective of this article is to study and determine the influence of these parameters on processed part through the research work carried out so far. A number of optimization techniques and designs of experiments for the determination of optimum process parameter have been studied.
