Özet:

 Nowadays, additive manufacturing, also known as three-dimensional 3D printing, is widely used in many different sectors for both prototyping and part production. 3D printer technologies, which offer more advantages compared with traditional production methods, are applied in a wide range of sectors, from health, education construction, automotive, to food. The utilization of 3D printers offers businesses numerous advantages, including cost reduction, time savings, efficient resource utilization, and the ability to produce customized products. Therefore, selection of 3D printers is a critical decision-making process for businesses. This study discusses the 3D printer selection problem of a furniture parts company located in Kayseri, Turkey. An integrated multicriteria decision making MCDM approach, which comprises the fuzzy CRITIC CRiteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation and fuzzy EDAS Evaluation based on Distance from Average Solution methods, is proposed for the solution. In the first stage, weights of 20 subcriteria gathered under the four main criteria technical, economy, performance, and environment are determined using the fuzzy CRITIC method. In the second stage, possible four different 3D printer options were determined by the company experts, and all four of these options were ranked using the fuzzy EDAS method. The application results indicated that waste generation K20 holds significant importance as a criterion in the companys 3D printer selection process. Waste generation refers to the amount of material discarded or unused during the printing process, which directly impacts both environmental sustainability and production costs. Moreover, the results identified the Flashforge Creator 3 A1 as the most suitable printer among all the options considered.

 Günümüzde katmanlı imalat bir diğer adıyla 3 boyutlu yazıcı çok sayıda farklı sektörde hem prototipleme hem de parça üretimi için yaygın bir şekilde kullanılmaktadır. Geleneksel üretim yöntemlerine göre birçok avantaj sağlayan 3 boyutlu yazıcı teknolojileri sağlık sektöründen eğitim sektörüne ve inşaat, otomotiv sektöründen gıda sektörüne kadar geniş bir yelpazede kendini göstermektedir. 3 boyutlu yazıcıların kullanımı işletmelere maliyet, zaman, kaynak avantajı ve kişiselleştirilmiş ürünler üretme imkânı gibi stratejik avantajlar sunmaktadır. Bu sebeple işletmeler için 3 boyutlu yazıcı seçimi kritik öneme sahip bir karar süreçlerinden biridir. Bu çalışmada, Kayseri ilinde plastik mobilya aksamları üreten bir firmanın prototipleme ve tasarım amacıyla kullanacakları 3 boyutlu yazıcının seçim problemi ele alınmıştır. Çözüm için Bulanık CRITIC ve bulanık EDAS yöntemlerinden oluşan bütünleşik bir Çok Kriterli Karar Verme Yöntemi ÇKVV önerilmiştir. İlk aşamada grup Teknik, Ekonomi, Performans ve Çevre başlıkları altında toplanan 20 farklı kriterin ağırlıkları bulanık CRITIC yöntemi uygulanarak belirlenmiştir. İkinci aşamada, firma yetkilileri tarafından üretimlerine uygun olabilecek dört farklı 3 boyutlu yazıcı belirlenerek, bulanık EDAS yöntemi ile bu alternatif yazıcıların sıralaması gerçekleştirilmiştir. Gerçekleştirilen çalışmanın sonucunda firmanın 3 boyutlu yazıcı seçim kararında en etkili kriterin atık oluşumu K20 olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu kriter, 3 boyutlu üretimin baskı sürecinde kullanılmayan veya atılan malzeme miktarını ifade eder. Atık oluşumu, üretim süreçlerinin çevresel sürdürülebilirliğini ve maliyetlerini doğrudan etkilediği için firma için önemlidir. Elde edilen bulgular doğrultusunda, firma için en uygun 3 boyutlu yazıcı modeli Flashforge Creator 3 A1 olarak belirlenmiştir. Çalışmanın sonucunda belirlenen model ile firmanın prototip üretimi, prototipten ürüne geçiş ve hata tespiti gibi kritik süreçlerde fayda elde etmesi beklenmektedir.
