Abstract

Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) 3D printing technology with PETG material has the potential to produce a strong face nose guard. However, mold quality is greatly affected by process parameters such as nozzle temperature, layer height, and printing speed. This study aims to analyze the effect of the three parameters and determine the optimal combination using Taguchi method with L4 (2)3 orthogonal array to obtain the best impact strength for the feasibility of printing face nose guard products. The 3D model was designed using Autodesk Inventor and printed using FDM 3D printing technology. The molded specimens were tested using an impact test to measure impact resistance. The data were statistically analyzed to evaluate the influence of each parameter. The results show that layer height has the most significant influence on impact strength (61.79%), followed by printing speed (15.54%) and nozzle temperature (5.06%). The optimal parameter combination for PETG material is nozzle temperature 235 ℃, layer height 0.2 mm, and printing speed 40 mm/s. PETG face nose guard products are proven to meet the impact strength standards of the ISO 179–1 standard, so they are suitable for use as face protection equipment, so they are suitable for use as face protection equipment. This research confirms the importance of proper print parameter settings to produce 3D printing products with optimal mechanical performance.
