3D printing, being an additive process, has emerged as a sustainable technology for producing engineering components. However, due to the fundamental nature of the process, the mechanical strength of 3D-printed parts is still under investigation. This study provides an overview of the impact of process parameters on the mechanical properties of 3D-FDM printed characteristics. It covers an existing literature review of different process parameters that can be used to improve component strength by performing various destructive and nondestructive tests focusing on the polymeric material. This paper gives insights into the selection of process parameters for intended applications. The proper selection of process parameters has an overall impact on the strength of 3D-printed components. The senses are helpful for process parameter selection and producing 3D-printed parts with a better strength-to-weight ratio and other desirable properties
