NSGA-II-Based Multi-Objective Optimization of Fused Filament Fabrication Process Parameters for TPU Parts with Chemical Smoothing Lokeshwaran Srinivasan, Lalitha Radhakrishnan, Ezhilmaran Veeranan, Faseeulla Khan Mohammad, Syed Quadir Moinuddin, et al. Polymers, 2026 In this study, thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) parts were fabricated using fused filament fabrication (FFF) by varying key process parameters, namely extruder temperature (210–230 °C), layer thickness (200–400 µm), and printing speed (30–50 mm/s). A Box–Behnken experimental design was used to systematically evaluate the combined influence of these parameters on surface roughness (Ra), dimensional deviation (DD), and ultimate tensile strength (UTS). After fabrication, all specimens were subjected to a Tetrahydrofuran (THF)-based chemical smoothing process to modify surface characteristics. Surface roughness measurements showed a substantial reduction after chemical smoothing, with values decreasing from an initial range of 13.17 ± 0.21–15.87 ± 0.23 µm to 4.01 ± 0.18–7.35 ± 0.16 µm, corresponding to an average decrease of approximately 50–72%. Dimensional deviation improved moderately, from 260–420 µm in the as-printed condition to 160–310 µm after post-processing, representing a reduction of about 20–38%. Mechanical testing revealed a consistent increase in UTS following chemical smoothing, with values improving from 30.24–40.30 ± 0.52 MPa to 33.97–47.94 ± 0.36 MPa, yielding an average increase of approximately 10–24%. Then, the experimental data were used for multi-objective optimization of the FFF process parameters, using a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) implemented in Python 3.11, to identify best parameter combinations that provide a balanced surface quality, dimensional accuracy, and mechanical performance.
A Review on Microstructure and Magnetic Property Control in Additively Manufactured Magnetic Materials Syed Quadir Moinuddin, Md Saad Patel, Suresh Goka, Mohammad Faseeulla Khan, Skander Jribi, et al. Advanced Engineering Materials, 2026 Additive manufacturing (AM) is revolutionizing the production of magnetic materials by enabling the fabrication of components with complex geometries and tailored functionalities that are challenging to achieve with conventional methods. AM enables precise control over microstructure, defect distribution, and material orientation, which directly affects mechanical and magnetic properties. Magnetic alloys and composites, including Fe–X (X = Si, Ni, and Co), NdFeB, and SmCo, are vital for transformers, electric machines, aircraft components, and electric vehicle magnets, necessitating low coercivity, high permeability, and regulated electrical resistivity. Recent advancements in AM have concentrated on refining processing settings, designing feedstock, and improving post‐processing procedures to enhance structural integrity and functional characteristics. This review primarily focuses on direct metal AM techniques, with emphasis on Fe‐based soft magnetic alloys and selected permanent magnet systems, particularly in electrical and electromagnetic applications. In addition to highlighting the ability of AM to alter the manufacturing of magnetic components while simultaneously addressing existing limitations, emerging trends, and potential research areas are also emphasized.
