Abstract:Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is one of the most common polymer 3D printing technologies used in many applications today. However, limited volume capacity for 3D printing large parts or components is the usual downside of this technology, especially desktop 3D printers. Hence, to offset this limitation, the 3D-printed parts are often designed in multiple pieces and assembled after printing, which requires post-processing called cold welding. Such welds are also quite strong but not as strong as a single-piec… Show more
