Abstract
In 3D printing technologies, many parameters should be optimized for obtaining a part with higher quality. FDM (fused deposition modeling) printer has also diverse parameters to be optimized. Among them, it can be said that nozzle temperature and moving speed of nozzle are fundamental parameters. Thus, it should be preceded to know the optimal combination of the two parameters in the use of FDM 3D printer. In this paper, a new method is proposed to estimate the range of the stable combinations of the two parameters, based on the single line quality. The proposed method was verified by comparing the results between single line printing and multi-layered single line printing. Based on the comparison, it can be said that the proposed method is very meaningful in that it has a simple test approach and can be easily implemented. In addition, it is very helpful to provide the basic data for the optimization of process parameters.
