This paper presents a simulation-based study on the relative permittivity of 3D printed dielectric slabs printed with varying infill densities. In this study, a percentage volumetric model has been employed to model the infill density in a 3D printed dielectric slab. The relative permittivity of the filament material used to design the slab is assumed to be 2.45. The modeled slab is fitted into various rectangular waveguides with varying dimensions corresponding to different frequency ranges. As the infill density decreases, the relative permittivity of the dielectric slabs decreases. This lower value of relative permittivity is referred to as effective relative permittivity (εr.eff) throughout the paper. The study concludes that the effective relative permittivity of the slab decreases linearly as the infill density is decreased for the model. This study offers valuable insights into the effective relative permittivity of dielectric slabs under varying infill densities, providing implications for applications in areas such as antenna design.
