A short review on 3D printing methods, process parameters and materials

Additive producing technological innovation features an important effect on today's advanced world due to the way it can manufacture exceptionally complicated geometrics. Actual 3D-printed plastic components have limited capacity uses because of naturally poor mechanical and anisotropic qualities. For flexibility and use, its functionalities have been enhanced by the accession of fillers. 3D printing has advantages, which include personalized geometry, minimum slopes, low priced, along with also simplicity of substance modification. A general introduction is given on AM techniques mainly fused deposition modeling (FDM), Powder-liquid 3D printing (PLP), selective laser sintering (SLS), stereolithography (SLA), digital light processing (DLP), and Electron beam melting. This work investigates the effect of input parameters like filament diameter, extruder temperature, feed rate, raster angle, characteristic of working material, nozzle angle, and distance between parallel faces on output parameters. Some approaches are suggested to maximize these parameters. It is believed a summary of the approaches produced would help compare their major characteristics and their benefits and limitations to help choose one of the most acceptable approaches for a specific application.
