In many different manufacturing techniques, additive manufacturing technologies have proven to be quite useful for developing a prototype model in wide range of applications. In that technique, Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is one of the concern favorite methods used in industries, because it can create complex structures at a low cost. FDM uses the polymer ingredients that are melted, extruded, and layered on top of one another to create the desired product, independent of design intricacy. This examination analyzes the effects of several process variables on the flexural and impact characteristics of parts produced of polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG)material, including infill structure, layer thinness, infill multi-layering, and infill concentration. The L9 orthogonal array was developed by the Taguchi method to be employed in this design of experiment. Through the analysis of variance (ANOVA), the study elucidated the relative substance and percentage effort of each process parametric quantity to the desired outcomes. The results obtained through the Taguchi method revealed optimal parameters for both impact strength and flexural tests. For impact strength, the optimum factor was determined as a layer thinness of 0.12-millimeter, quarter cubic infill structure, 30% infill denseness (density), and a multi-layering of 3. Conversely, for the flexural test, the optimal factor was found to be a layer thinness of 0.12-millimeter, cross 3D infill structure, 60% infill denseness, and a multi-layering of 4 respectively.
