ABSTRACT

There is a lot of competition in the car business. OEMs and Suppliers are always trying to come up with better ways to do things that will increase production, efficiency, and innovation while reducing costs and waste. Fused Deposition Modelling, a type of Additive Manufacturing, is becoming one of the most important tools that automakers use. Fused Deposition Modelling, or FDM technology as it is more commonly known, has become popular in the automotive business because it can use engineering-grade thermoplastics. Traditionally, additive manufacturing has been used for concept modelling and prototyping, but the materials you can print with FDM open up many more uses, which the car industry is really starting to take advantage of. Users who have access to high-strength materials like Nylon, Polycarbonate, and Ultem have been able to make a lot of important automotive uses possible. Putting these materials through professional-grade printers has been a key way to improve workflow and test sample parts' functionality. The car industry uses FDM for things like printing jigs, fixtures, and check gauges, designing and testing how things work, and making parts for the aftermarket. With FDM technology, Additive Manufacturing is changing not only how goods are designed and tested, but also how they are made. In the present study a model of spur gear was developed by fusion 360 software and fuse deposition technology. The specimen performed under surface roughness test by Mitutoyo and bending compression test by three-point bending test by universal testing machine. The observed results were observed by the factorial 8 and Minitab. All the samples are made three independent factors i.e., layer thickness, nozzle temperature and infill density.
