This study aims to provide an in-depth characterization of the intelligent behaviour exhibited by structures fabricated using fused deposition modelling (FDM) printing technology. The primary objective is to understand the variability in the shape-morphing behaviour of additively manufactured PLA structures. A comprehensive analysis is conducted to shed light on the impact of various factors on shape transformation, encompassing both working and printing parameters. To establish the relationship between the printing and working parameters with the shape morphing characteristics, the experimental procedure employs Taguchi's method design of experiments. Notably, the study quantitatively reveals the extent of these parameters' impact on the characteristics.
