Surface Roughness Prediction of Parts Produced Through Fusion Deposition Modelling

Abstract

With technological advances happening in almost every industry, the manufacturing industry has seen quite a growth in terms of scientific advancements due to incorporation of hi-tech instruments and processes. To cope with the fluctuating demands of manufactured products, companies have adopted 3D printing technology for small-quantity batch production. 3D printing is an additive manufacturing (AM) based techniques that is capable of producing complex shapes, reducing material wastage, and reducing production time. In the present work, different researches which predict the Ra of parts produced through fusion deposition modeling are discussed. The present work consists of all the latest research work that has been conducted to identify the factors impacting the surface finish of products developed through Fusion Deposition Modeling (FDM).
