Abstract
Material extrusion (ME) is an additive manufacturing technology employed for a wide variety of parts and several applica-
tions. Along with its benefits, there are drawbacks regarding ME, such as the anisotropy of specimens that provides different
values for mechanical properties and residual stresses. There is a need for optimizing the printing parameters since they
are linked to the mechanical behavior of printed parts. One way to reach that goal is by carrying out physical experiments
that grant accurate results but at a high cost. Another strategy is to simulate the printing process using specialized software.
Therefore, it is vital to determine if a simulation approach is robust enough to predict component’s performance. The present
study shows the optimization of process parameters to improve the yield strength of printed specimens made of acrylonitrile–
butadiene–styrene (ABS). Experimental runs and a numerical simulation based on thermo-mechanical analyses executed
in Digimat software are introduced. Taguchi method and analyses of variance (ANOVA) allowed estimating the effects of
process parameters and their optimal values to enhance coupon’s yield strength for both approaches. Optimum levels for
experimental and simulated results diverge for layer thickness and infill density. The difference between yield stress dictated
by physical and simulated values is below 9% for 75% of the experimental runs. Digimat’s simulations gave a good insight
into the material extrusion of plastic materials, but when used for the optimization of printing parameters, they provided
lower yield stress values than the ones obtained by experimental methods.
