FDM Parameter Optimization for Wood-PLA Composite Tensile Strength

This dataset contains results from a Taguchi L9 orthogonal array experiment optimizing Fused Deposition Modelling parameters for wood-PLA composites. The study tested layer thickness (0.1, 0.2, 0.3 mm), infill density (25%, 50%, 75%), and nozzle temperature (190°C, 200°C, 210°C) across Triangular, Cubic, and Zig-zag infill patterns, reporting a maximum tensile strength of 46.41 MPa. Authored by Biplab Bhattacharjee and published in 2026, it provides a framework for sustainable 3D printing.

Use Cases

• Analyze the effect of layer thickness, infill density, and nozzle temperature on tensile strength using ANOVA results.
• Model the relationship between infill pattern (Triangular, Cubic, Zig-zag) and the reported 46.41 MPa maximum tensile strength.
• Validate the 28% improvement in tensile strength relative to non-optimized configurations using the experimental parameter combinations.

Strengths

• Data is derived from a structured Taguchi L9 orthogonal array experimental design.
• Includes specific, validated optimal parameters: layer thickness of 0.1 mm, infill density of 75%, and nozzle temperature of 210°C.
• Reports a concrete maximum tensile strength outcome of 46.41 MPa.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 5.5 KB, indicating limited experimental scope and likely few data points.
• The specific number of rows and columns is unknown, limiting assessment of its analytical depth.
• Data is static, representing a single controlled experiment without temporal or production-scale variation.
