Filament material (PLA and iron-reinforced PLA), infill ratio (20, 40 and 60%), layer thickness (0.1, 0.2 ve 0.3 mm), printing speed (40, 60 and 80 mm/s) and raster angle (30, 45 and 60°) were selected as process parameters. The experimental design was based on the Taguchi L18 index. Signal-to-Noise (S/N) ratio, variance analysis (Anova) and regression analyses were used to statistically analyze the tensile strength values obtained as a result of experimental measurements. The outcomes of this study show that the reinforcement to PLA material decreases the tensile strength and increases the % elongation. The maximum tensile strength was measured as 33.55 MPa at 60% infill rate, 0.3 mm layer thickness, 60 mm/s printing speed and 60° raster angle in PLA filament material, which is the optimum process parameters.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArticle10.52795/mateca.13326948027211966244
