In this study, the dimensional accuracy of parts fabricated with PolyJet 3D Printing Direct process is investigated. An L4 orthogonal array was utilized as the design of experiments, while the process parameters examined are layer thickness, build style and scale. A simple prototype was proposed and specified external and internal dimensions were measured using a digital vernier calliper. Grey-Taguchi method was applied for optimizing all dimensional measurements. The effect of each parameter on dimensional accuracy has been identified using ANOM (Analysis of Means), while ANOVA (Analysis of Variances) has been performed to determine each parameter’s dominance. Additionally, the results of this study were compared with the findings of a previous optimization study in which the usual Taguchi method was used. It was concluded that 16 μm of layer thickness, glossy style and 50% scale provide the optimum dimensional results, while scale is the most important factor.

The robust design of chemical etching parameters is dealing with the optimization of the through-silicon via (TSV) roundness error and TSV lateral etching depth in the etching of silicon for laser drilled TSVs. The considered wet chemical etching parameters comprise the HNO3 molarity, HF molarity, and etching time. Grey-Taguchi method is combining the orthogonal array design of experiments with Grey relational analysis (GRA), which enables the determination of the optimal combination of wet chemical etching parameters for multiple process responses. The concept of Grey relational analysis is to find a Grey relational grade, which can be used for the optimization conversion from a multiple objective case to a single objective case. Also, GRG is used to investigate the parameter effects to the overall quality targets.

Background: Additive manufacturing is the most famous technology which requires materials or composites to be fabricated with layer by layer deposition strategy. Due to its lower cost, higher accuracy and less material wastage; this technology is used in almost every sector. But in many applications there is a need to alter the properties of a product in a certain direction with the help of some reinforcements. With the use of reinforcements, composite layers can be fabricated using additive manufacturing technique which will enhance the directional properties. A novel apparatus is designed to spray the reinforcement material into the printed structures in a very neat and precise manner. This spray nozzle is fully automated, which works according to tool-paths generated by slicing software. The alternate deposition of layers of reinforcement and build materials helped to fabricate customized composite products. Objective: The objective of present study is to design and analyze the working principle of novel technique which has been developed to fabricate composite materials using additive manufacturing. The apparatus is numerically controlled by computer according to CAD data which facilitates the deposition of alternate layers of reinforcement and matrix material. The major challenges during the design process and function of each component has been explored. Methods: The design process is initiated after comprehensive literature review performed to study previous composite manufacturing processes. The recent patents published by different patent offices of the world are studied in detail and analysis has been used to design a low cost composite fabrication apparatus. A liquid dispensing device comprises a storage tank attached with a pump and microprocessor. The microprocessor receives the signal from the computer as per tool paths generated by slicing software which decides the spray of reinforcements on polymer layers. The spraying apparatus moves in coordination with the primary nozzle of the Fused Filament Fabrication process. Results: The hybridization of Fused Filament Fabrication [process with metal spray process has been successfully performed. The apparatus facilitates the fabrication of low cost composite materials along with flexibility of complete customization of composite manufacturing process. The anisotropic behaviour of products can be easily controlled and managed during fabrication which can be used for different applications.
