Rapid Prototyping technology is instrumental in building prototypes for new product development. However, the default settings of the 3D printer process parameters, in some cases, do not provide the required strength for the 3D print. There are several process parameters to be considered. This study aims to find the relationship between the infill density and the layer thickness as they affect the strength of the 3D print. Online Cura software is used to slice the specimen. Response Surface Method is used to analyse the data. The results show infill density, layer thickness, and interaction between infill density and layer thickness are significant at α = 0.05. It is concluded that there is a non-linear relationship between the infill density and the layer thickness.
