摘要:Improving surface quality attributes is a critical task in the production of micro-sized near-net-shaped components for end-use applications using additive manufacturing techniques. In the present study, we investigated the effect of fused deposition modeling (FDM) process parameters such as layer thickness, part orientation, raster width and raster angle on the surface quality characteristics of as-fabricated test specimens in order to develop the assembly of a flapping wing micro mechanism. Through a Box–Behnken design, a suitable experimental strategy was developed, and test specimens were manufactured. The performance of the experiments was statistically assessed using multi-response analysis of variance (ANOVA). The microstructures of the test specimens produced with various processing parameters were examined using a scanning electron microscope to identify micro surface flaws under various processing conditions. Furthermore, the optimal FDM parameters for improved surface quality attributes such as Ra, Rz and Rq were obtained using a statistical optimization technique known as Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS).
