Department of Mechanical Engineering. Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Department of Mechanical Engineering. Mechanical Engineering. Thesis: M. Eng. in Advanced Manufacturing and Design, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Mechanical Engineering, 2017. Cataloged from PDF version of thesis. Includes bibliographical references (page 58). A feature-based time estimation model is developed to predict printing time of any given object on a fused deposition modeling machine. Preliminary experiments are conducted to detect the significant factors that cause the error between actual and estimated submission time. A proposed method models the movements and heating processes of the extruder nozzle and calculates print time using G-code. The result of the proposed model is also compared with the most downloaded print time simulator on Google Play and demonstrated that the proposed model significantly improves the estimation of print time. Recommendations for future steps to improve the accuracy of the model are also presented. by Yuanhan Xu. M.
