This research article presents a comprehensive study on ceramic materials using Fused filament fabrication of ceramic (FFFC) for the production of test samples. The study investigates the effects of different production strategies on three types of ceramic materials: experimental ceramic composite fiber (e.c.c.f.)(composite material produced by STU FCHPT), Zirconium Silicate, and White Zirconia. The primary objective is to compare the production times of the different strategies and investigate their effects on the properties of the samples. This research is important because production time is a crucial factor in the manufacturing industry, and minimizing production time without compromising quality is essential. The study aims to explore the impact of various production strategies on the production time and properties of the test samples, such as hardness, porosity, and flexural strength. The experimental procedure involves printing test samples using a MakerBot METHOD X 3D Printer with FDM technology and varying the layer thickness, raster angle, infill density, and other production strategies. The study aims to identify the optimal production strategy for each ceramic material, which can significantly reduce production time while maintaining the desired quality of the parts. Overall, the research provides valuable insights into the optimal production strategies for different types of ceramic materials and contributes to the development of novel, cost-effective, and efficient manufacturing processes for ceramic composites.
