Process parameter optimization for alumina ceramic parts manufactured by fused deposition modelling.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Ceramic materials are gaining relevance in Additive Manufacturing (AM), although the lack of standardized process parameters limits the repeatability and comparability of printed parts. This study proposes an optimization procedure for the fabrication of alumina (Al₂O₃) components using Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) with a ceramic–polymer composite filament. The methodology was structured in two phases. First, the printing parameters related to extrusion conditions, speed profiles, layer configuration, and infill strategies were iteratively optimized using green parts. Then, the influence of chemical debinding and sintering was considered to refine the geometric parameters and scale factors necessary to ensure dimensional stability in final ceramic parts. The optimized parameter set was evaluated by fabricating standardized test artifacts according to ISO 52902:2023 to assess dimensional accuracy, resolution, and surface finish, and results were benchmarked against polylactic acid (PLA) printed under optimal conditions. The findings show that the proposed procedure enables reliable fabrication of alumina parts and provides objective performance data; however, dimensional deviations and surface artifacts increase after sintering due to material shrinkage and thermal deformation. The study recommends the adoption of structured parameter optimization workflows to support industrial integration of ceramic FDM and highlights the need for future work on optimizing debinding and sintering profiles to improve final part stability.
