| 520 | 3 | |a This study explores the machinability of Material Extrusion (MEX) printed parts made from carbon fiber-reinforced polylactic acid (PLA). MEX-printed parts typically exhibit high surface roughness, necessitating post-processing to enhance their quality. In this work, milling was used as a post-processing method to improve the surface finish. Response surface methodology (RSM) experimental design was employed to investigate the effects of cutting velocity, feed rate, and depth of cut on the surface quality of the machined surfaces. Results showed that the as-built MEX-printed sample exhibited a high average surface roughness (Sa) of ~7.982 µm, indicating the need for post-processing. Post-processing milling considerably enhances the Sa by reducing it to ~1.621 µm under the optimal condition. Statistical findings showed that all considered factors have significant influence on the Sa, with feed rate as the most influential one, contributing to 47.63% of the total variation. The Sa values varied from 1.834 µm to 4.146 µm due to changes in the considered factors. Increasing feed rate leads to the emergence of cavities and ridges along the deposited filaments associated with brittle removal mechanism, resulting in higher surface roughness. | |
