Optimal process conditions to print β-TCP were revealed as 3 bar pressure, 0.6 mm nozzle diameter, 5 mm/s print speed, and 55 vol% solid loading, yielding minimal dimensional error. ANOVA results highlighted nozzle diameter and pressure as significant factors, followed by solid loading and print speed.
