Abstract

The aims of this study are to investigate the tensile strength of polylactic acid (PLA) material using Taguchi Method and to evaluate the best parameters which have the highest significant impact on the tensile properties of PLA. Three parameters are used to investigate the tensile properties of PLA which include printing speed, infill pattern, and layer thickness. The PLA filament is printed using a 3D printer. The printed parts are tested under tensile test according to standards ASTM test samples. The number of experiment is determined by using Taguchi method. Based on the ANOVA analysis, optimum parameter for the tensile strength of PLA are obtained through validation test. The ANOVA analysis shows that the significant variable is infill pattern which gives highest impact on tensile strength.
