In Extrusion based 3D Printing technology, the voids could be reduced and the surface nish of printed parts could be improved with extrudate shape optimization. For large-scale 3D Printing technology like 3D Printing for Building and Construction, reducing printed layer height would increase the fabrication time drastically, while having few e ect on voids reduction and surface nish improvement. In this paper, an iterative experimental approach to achieve the optimized nozzle design for rectangular shaped extrudate was proposed. Two nozzle prototypes were manufactured by Fused Deposition Method and implemented for experimental tests, then a new nozzle design was created based on the experimental extrudate shapes. This process iterated until a good rectangular extrudate shape was obtained. Printing tests were conducted with the optimized nozzle, which showed the designed nozzle could help to eliminate the voids among the printed parts and guarantee good surface nish without losing the speed of printing.
