This study presents a methodology for optimizing key parameters of a fused deposition modeling (FDM) printer to minimize energy consumption (EC) while exceeding a specified tensile strength (TS) threshold. Employing Design of Experiments (DoE) with Taguchi and Response Surface analysis, we identify influential parameters affecting TS and EC. A Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Multi-Objective Optimization model is then utilized to balance TS and EC, resulting in optimal parameter values.

The American Cancer Society expected to diagnose 276,480 new cases of invasive breast cancer in the USA and 48,530 new cases of noninvasive breast cancer among women in 2020. Early detection of breast cancer, followed by appropriate treatment, can reduce the risk of death from this disease. DL through CNN can assist imaging specialists in classifying the mammograms accurately.

Background: One of the early screening methods of breast cancer that is still used today is mammogram due to its low cost. Unfortunately, this low cost accompanied with low performance rate also.

Methods: The low performance rate in mammograms is associated with low capability in determining the best region from which the features are extracted.

According to the American Cancer Society's forecasts for 2019, there will be about 268,600 new cases in the United States with invasive breast cancer in women, about 62,930 new noninvasive cases, and about 41,760 death cases from breast cancer. As a result, there is a high demand for breast imaging specialists as indicated in a recent report for the Institute of Medicine and National Research Council. One way to meet this demand is through developing Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) systems for breast cancer detection and diagnosis using mammograms.
