Abstract


Fused deposition modeling is an additive manufacturing process that allows the manufacturing of complex-shaped parts. However, the prediction of the mechanical behavior of these parts remains unreliable taking into consideration their singular structures. This work aims to develop a numerical approach in order to improve the mesostructural modeling of a test specimen virtually obtained by Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) and to predict their tensile behavior by the Finite Element Analysis (FEA). A 3D Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software has been used to reproduce this mesostructure in a fully automatic manner from a G-code file by using a script. From the Design of Experiments (DoE), a mathematical model has been developed to take into account non-geometrical manufacturing parameters during the creation of the virtual specimen. For tensile testing of the specimen, the FEA results are in good agreement with the experimental data. Indeed, the error obtained between the experimental data and the numerical predictions is about 0.84%.
