Abstract:Fused Deposition Modelling is one of the main 3D printing methods to manufacture plastic parts. The strength of the printed part by FDM is dependent on polymer diffusion between printed layers. The polymer diffusion between two neighboring layers occur not only during the extrusion of the hot top layer, but also during the production of consecutive layers due to thermal conduction. The heat diffusion from upper layers enhances the curing of polymers, which consequently affects the strength of the part. Therefo… Show more
