General note Abstract<br/>Honeycomb Sandwich structures are critical components in aviation industry owing to<br/>its impressive mechanical properties including strength-to-weight ratio, flexural rigidity etc.<br/>With the recent advancement in rapid prototyping, traditional manufacturing techniques for<br/>honeycomb manufacturing have limited the possibilities for innovative design. The advent of<br/>Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM), an AM technique, has expanded the design possibilities<br/>and holds the potential to improve the functionality of sandwich panels. In the outlined study,<br/>polymer (PLA) based honeycomb sandwich structures manufactured with FDM were subjected<br/>to variations in their geometrical features; cell size, wall thickness, and core height. These<br/>variations were then evaluated for two major mechanical properties: flatwise compressive<br/>strength and flexural stiffness of the structure. The study employed a Design of Experiment<br/>based on RSMs Central Composite Design. This research optimized FDM process parameters<br/>from existing literature to fabricate sandwich structure specimens. Mechanical properties were<br/>evaluated using ASTM C365 and C393 standards, and statistical models were developed to<br/>relate input variables to responses. The findings showed that cell size and wall thickness<br/>significantly impacted compressive strength, while core height had a greater influence on<br/>flexural rigidity. Stress-strain and load-deflection curves consistent with literature were<br/>obtained. This study demonstrates the importance of optimizing FDM parameters and<br/>geometric variables to minimize weight while maintaining structural integrity, contributing to<br/>the development of lightweight sandwich structures.
