Evaluating 3D Printing Parameters of an Elastomeric Resin for Higher Stretchability and Strength Using the Analytic Hierarchy Process and Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution

Year: 2024

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: The fast progress of 3D printing technology has resulted in the creation of innovative materials, such as elastic resins, broadening the field of applications in various sectors. This paper investigates the effect of printing parameters on the strength and elongation of the final part, as well as optimizing elastic resin 3D printing processes using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) analyses. In this analysis, the printing parameters post-curing time, exposure time, aging conditions, rotation direction, rest time after lift, photoinitiator effect, and aging time are considered criteria. The report finishes with recommendations for the most effective parameter settings for the best sample elongation (ε) and tensile strength (E).
