Why Taguchi method is used?

Taguchi method is robust design techniques widely used in industries as it can improve the processing quality, reduce the
number of experiments, minimize the processing variation and maintenance and promote the quality stability.

What is the Taguchi method?

The Taguchi method optimizes design parameters to minimize variation before optimizing design to hit mean target values
for output parameters. The Taguchi method uses special orthogonal arrays to study all the design factors with minimum of
experiments.
thermoplastic
1. denoting substances (especially synthetic resins) that become plastic on heating and harden on cooling, and are able to repeat these
processes.
Thermoplastics are polymers which soften when they are heated and solidify as they cool.
Polyethylene terephthalate glycol material (PETG)

ASTM D790 is a testing method to determine the flexural (bending) properties of reinforced and unreinforced plastics,
high-modulus composites, and electrical insulation materials.

Additive manufacturing

3D printing (sometimes referred to as Additive Manufacturing (AM)) is the computer-controlled sequential layering of
materials to create three-dimensional shapes. It is particularly useful for prototyping and for the manufacture of
geometrically complex

durability
1. the ability to withstand wear, pressure, or damage.
Formability
Formability is the ability of a given metal workpiece to undergo plastic deformation without being damaged.

Ultem® (polyetherimide) is a semi-transparent high strength plastic material that can operate in high service temperature
environments. Ultem® is resistant to hot water and steam and can withstand repeated cycles in a steam autoclave. FDA
compliant grades of Ultem® are available.

the three-point bending flexural test provides values for the modulus of elasticity in bending , flexural stress , flexural strain and the flexural
stress–strain response of the material. This test is performed on a universal testing machine (tensile testing machine or tensile tester) with a
three-point or four-point bend fixture.The main advantage of a three-point flexural test is the ease of the specimen preparation and testing.
However, this method has also some disadvantages: the results of the testing method are sensitive to specimen and loading geometry and strain
rate.

The Taguchi method is a statistical tool developed by Genier Taguchi (1940) a Japanese engineer, proposed a model for
experiment design. ... The Taguchi's orthogonal array L9 (3^4) is used in order to estimate the factors that influence the
performance criteria and also which factors are more important than others
