Abstract
Fused deposition modelling (FDM)-based additive manufacturing (AM) process is inevitable for new product development and prototype fabrication. This paper presents the fabrication of bevel gear for an automotive application using FDM technology. This article aims to develop a sustainable automotive prototype component through FDM-based AM process with optimised process parameters. In this study, build time (BT), energy consumption (EC), and support material consumption (SMC) have been optimised for the FDM process. Four input parameters with two levels have been investigated for the automotive component manufactured using FDM process. For optimisation, Taguchi L16 orthogonal array has been done, and ANOVA statistical tool was used to find significant factors and contribution percentage. Complex proportional assessment (COPRAS)-based MCDM methodology was used to find the best experimental run. Technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) was used to validate the results.
期刊介绍：
Effective design and management of key processes is widely regarded as an important differentiator and source of competitive advantage in manufacturing, for profit services and public services. Processes permeate all facets of an organisation. Some processes exist within one functional area, while others cut across functional areas. IJPMB aims to cover both functional and business processes. Benchmarks, benchmarking and knowledge management are among the process improvement tools.
