Abstract

3D Printing Technology, particularly Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), has experienced rapid development. However, the layer-by-layer stacking process often hinders the dimensional accuracy of the produced objects. This research aims to improve the dimensional accuracy of Spur Gears (ISO - Spur gear 1.75M 40T 20PA 8FW) by optimizing FDM parameters. The Taguchi design of the experiment’s method was used to identify the optimal combination of layer thickness, infill density, and wall thickness parameters. Experiments were conducted using a Creality CR-10S Pro V2 3D printer with PLA + filament. Dimensional accuracy was evaluated using a basic tangent system with a micrometer measuring instrument. Data analysis was performed using JMP 18.0.1 software with the “smaller is better” criterion to minimize dimensional errors. The results showed that layer thickness has the most significant impact on the dimensional accuracy of the spur gears. The optimal parameter combination obtained was a layer thickness of 0.2 mm, an infill density of 60%, and a wall thickness of 0.4 mm.
