A framework for fused deposition modelling process evaluation using multivariate process capability analysis.

ABSTRACT: The rapid advancement of additive manufacturing (AM) requires researchers to keep up with these advancements by continually improving the AM processes. Improving manufacturing processes involves evaluating the process outputs and their conformity to the required specifications. Process capability indices, calculated using critical quality characteristics (QCs), have long been used in the evaluation process due to their proven effectiveness. AM processes typically involve multi-correlated critical QCs, indicating the need to develop a multivariate process capability index (MPCI) rather than a univariate capability index, which may lead to misleading results. In this regard, this study proposes a general methodological framework for evaluating AM processes using MPCI. The proposed framework
