Material Extrusion Filament Width and Height Prediction via Design of Experiment and Machine Learning.

The dimensions of material extrusion 3D printing filaments play a pivotal role in determining processing resolution and efficiency and are influenced by processing parameters. This study focuses on four key process parameters, namely, nozzle diameter, nondimensional nozzle height, extrusion pressure, and printing speed. The design of experiment was carried out to determine the impact of various factors and interaction effects on filament width and height through variance analysis.
