Optimization of surface finish in fused deposition modeled components using hybrid metaheuristic techniques and abrasive flow machining
Fused deposition Modelling (FDM) technique is extensively used in industrial applications. The main advantage of this technique is to provide flexibility and ease of operation, but at the same time, surface roughness is a significant drawback to FDM, caused by layer-by-layer deposition resulting in staircase effects an...
