Abstract

Machine learning is gaining more popularity in the FDM process in the way of performance enhancement. The multi-functionality of multi-material printing and its rising employment makes the Machine-Learning (ML) tool more attractive as the diversity of process parameters involves many fabrication combinations. This paper describes the implementation of ML techniques in the production of multi-material objects to achieve a high mechanical outcome. A nozzle temperature of PLA and ABS extruders was chosen as an input feature for ML, whereas UTS was the target. 125 samples with additional 6 pieces for deviation cases printed for 25 temperature combinations. The decision Tree model exhibited improper prediction values. Although the next Random Forest model had a fairly good R2-0.78, the 3D graph of UTS had a coarse curve. The highest R2-0.81 belonged to the 5th degree Polynomial Regression model. According to this model, to acquire the highest UTS value-41.171MPa, extruding temperatures should be 216 C, and 246 C for PLA and ABS respectively.
