Seam visibility remains a significant challenge in Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) 3D Printing, particularly on curved and complex geometries. Traditional seaming methods, such as the butt-joint, often produce visible artifacts, reducing the surface quality and the mechanical characteristics of parts. This study explores the effectiveness of the Scarf Seam method, a new seam management technique integrated into open-source slicing software, to improving surface finish. While previous research has addressed seam visibility and strength, limited studies have systematically analyzed the impact of seam parameters. Using a Taguchi L16 design, this study evaluates key parameters influencing Scarf Seam performance, including Scarf Joint Speed, Scarf Steps, Scarf Start Height, and Scarf Length. Results indicate that parameter optimization significantly enhances part’s shells concealment. Despite improvements, inconsistencies in seam start localization across different configurations remain unexplained, highlighting the need for further investigation. This research provides valuable insights into seam optimization strategies, contributing to better surface aesthetics and structural performance in FFF-printed parts.
