ABSTRACT

The Simultaneous Evaluation of Criteria and Alternatives (SECA) method deals with evaluating a multi-objective non-linear mathematical model to determine the overall performance scores of the alternatives and the weights of the criteria simultaneously. Baradari et al. applied SECA method to prioritize information technology infrastructure libraries based on some identified key performance indicators. Bazrafshan et al. solved an asymmetric traveling salesman problem using the SECA method while considering the number of constraints, number of variables, type of variables, time of solving and, differences between the optimum and the relaxed value for comparing these constraints as the evaluation criteria. The 3D printing technology has propelled the growth of additive manufacturing with an ever-increasing range of products based on various available processes. Dimension of the nozzle diameter directly affects horizontal resolution and thickness of the 3D-printed product.
