In the recent trends of rapid prototyping all are going towards the additive layer manufacturing process.Most common technique of additive layer manufacturing is 3D printing. 3D printing is the process of making a physicalcomponent in the three dimensional aspects by generating many thin layers of material. In the 3D printer, anycomponent is generated with different infill patterns. By changing the parameters, it results to change in the importantparameters like strength and material cost. My project deals with manufacturing the coupler by using two differentmaterials i.e Polylactic acid(PLA) and Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene(ABS). Printing process utilised is FusedDeposition Modelling(FDM). For each material different infill patterns would be utilised. At last comparative study ofall the printed models would be done based on the surface roughness and torque at failure of the model.
