LAYER HEIGHT

This study concluded that by increasing the layer thickness, less number of layers were required. This
reduced residual stress and deformation in the part, and improved part strength through improving part
resistance. [ PARAMETRIC APPRAISAL , AKSOOD]

TAGUCHI

However, Taguchi method can only determine the best combination of levels of process variables and
the inter- action effects [Peace GS (1993) Taguchi methods, a hands-on approach. Ad- dison-Wesley

Taguchi method provides simple, reliable and effective approach in practical applications to improve the
product quality at low cost. [ OPTIMIZATION OF FDM O.MOHAMED]
