Analysis of parameter interactions and their underlying mechanisms.

Exploration of statistical approaches for identifying parameter influences and interactions.

Main Results:

Optimization of parameters like raster angle and build orientation can improve mechanical properties by up to 60%.
Certain parameter choices, such as material selection, can render other parameters less significant.
Specific parameter settings can alter or reverse the influence trends of other parameters, highlighting complex interdependencies.

Conclusions:

Careful selection and optimization of Additive Manufacturing parameters are crucial for enhancing mechanical properties.
Understanding parameter interactions is essential for unlocking the full potential of 3D printing for high-performance applications.
Future research should focus on further elucidating these interactions and developing advanced optimization strategies.
