Abstract:
Now days, FDM process is widely applicable in many field of manufacturing. Materials used are consumable and can be formed
into desired shapes for this reason; FDM process is assisting in investment casting (IC) process. FDM is suitable for making
patterns for investment casting because of its capacity of producing very small and complex parts. Different process parameters
are responsible for quality and accuracy of parts produces by rapid investment casting. Better quality products can be produced
without additional cost of hard tooling by proper adjustment of process parameters. Machining economics and product value can
be developed to great level by optimizations of machining parameters. This review paper is aimed to find out how different
parameters of FDM process affect the accuracy and quality of part produced.
