Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of layer height on the dimensional accuracy of 3D- printed products. Specifically, it investigates the changes in linear dimensions A, B, and H of the samples as the layer height varies from 0.10 mm to 0.30 mm. To achieve this goal, experiments were conducted on the Designer Classic 3D printer, which was installed in the laboratory of the Department of Technological Equipment, Engineering, and Standardization at Abylkas Saginov Karaganda Technical University. The characteristics of FDM technology, such as the influence of printing parameters (including layer height, nozzle temperaure, printing speed, and infill density), were analyzed in detail to ensure thorough investigation for process optimization and product quality improvement. In this study, 1.75 mm diameter PLA filaments were used, as this material offers good adhesion, low shrinkage, and high stability during printing.
