Thus, various methods are presented. Moreover, some published scientific works related to these methods are discussed. A comparative study of these optimization methods is also carried out including their strengths and drawbacks. Despite some limitations of these methods due to FDM technology constraints, this paper shows their importance in obtaining optimal selection of 3D printing parameters.}}
