The present study illustrates the performance of ABS P430 Material Made of Fused Deposition Modeling
(FDM). The effect of FDM parameter of Surface Roughness, Tensile Strength and Percentage of Elongation is
investigated. The experiments were conducted with two different parameters such as Layer thickness and air gap. The
process parameters are optimized by using Taguchi method and the effect of these process parameters on Surface
Roughness, Tensile Strength and Percentage of Elongation was evaluated by the analysis of variance. The analysis
shows that the parameter that have the biggest effect on Surface Roughness, Tensile Strength and Percentage of
Elongation is Layer Thickness.
