One of the technologies that are often encountered is Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM). FDM technology has many advantages, such as easy maintenance, not easily damaged, easy to operate, relatively safer, and relatively cheaper. Much researches on the optimization of the FDM process have been carried out. There is a need to map research results regarding process optimization and the results of FDM technology so that it can provide research opportunities for other researchers to develop this technology. For this reason, this study aims to map the results of research that has been carried out regarding the optimization of the 3D printing process, especially FDM technology. This study uses a qualitative method, namely, a literature review. According to technology and year of publication, some literature is selected to provide relevant and up-to- date results. Based on the literature review that has been done, some process parameters are used along with the desired response variables.

The high need for a production process that is fast, flexible, easy to use is the factors that influence this increase. It is the reason that makes this technology used in various industries, such as the food industry, cars, planes, buildings, and also health (Petrovic et al., 2011). 3D printing technology itself is a technology based on the layer by layer manufacturing of products. Unlike the existing manufacturing processes, where the material is formed by reducing the original material, this technology actually adds material. Therefore, 3D printing is also called layer manufacturing and also additive manufacturing. 3D printing technology is based on the material used. The material used can be powder, liquid, or solid (filament). For liquid materials, usually, the 3D print process is done by shooting a laser at the surface of the material. The surface of the material that is hit by the laser will harden and form a layer. The process will repeat itself so that it becomes a 3-dimensional product. The same concept applies to powder materials. Laser firing on this powder material will cause a bond between one molecule to another molecule. When a laser-firing process is complete, you will get a layer that will repeat itself into a product.
