| Abstrakt: | The designed biomedical implants require excellent shear strength primarily for mechanical stability against forces in human body. However, metallic implants undergo stress shielding with release of toxic ions in the body. Thus, Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) has made significant progress in the biomedical field through the production of customized implants. The mechanical behavior is highly dependent on printing parameters, however, the effect of these parameters on punch shear strength of ASTM D732-02 standard specimens has not been explored. Thus, in the current study, the effect of infill density (IFD), printing speed (PTS), wall thickness (WLT), and layer thickness (LYT) has been investigated on the punch shear strength using Response Surface Methodology. The Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) has been performed for predicting statistical model with 95% confidence interval. During the statistical analysis, the terms with p -value lower than 0.05 were considered significant and the influence of process parameters has been examined using microscopic images. The surface plots have been used for discussing the effect of interactions between printing parameters. The statistical results revealed IFD as the most significant contributing factor, followed by PTS, LYT, and WLT. The study concluded by optimization of printing parameters for obtaining the highest punch shear strength.
