A method is provided for determining optimal values of significant process parameters in an additive manufacturing (AM) process for printing a part from a specified process material. The method involves defining a set of target output material properties to be optimized and identifying an initial set of process parameters pertaining to the AM process. The method broadly comprises a screening phase and an optimization phase. The screening phase involves generating and executing a first experiment design, and determining, based on a first output response, a subset of significant process parameters that affect the target output material properties. The optimization phase involves generating and executing a second experiment design, and determining, based on a second output response, optimal values for the significant process parameters that maximize or minimize the target output material properties.
