DIMENSIONLESS ANALYSIS FOR THE 3-D PRINTING PROCESS

ABSTRACT
The dimensionless analysis is a highly effective mathematical tool for the physical comprehension of intricate phenomena. This paper employs the aforementioned mathematical tool to study the 3-D printing process. A number of criteria for a precise printing process have been identified, which can be used to optimize the printing process and offer a new strategy to improve its printing accuracy.
