Abstract

The present work explains and processes the fabricated of a 3D composite filament using wear characteristics of a polylactic acid (PLA)-14% bronze composite filament to obtain a technique as pin-on-disc apparatus. The process is by varying the three parameters such as load, track diameter and speed. To optimize the wear and coefficient of friction, grey relational analysis (GRA) technique was used. The results were obtained that the performance of a load was greatly influenced on the effect of the printed end sample. Load and track diameter which are highly influenced over the mechanical properties are investigated. Track diameter is highly influenced on the effect of the mechanical properties.
