Abstract:To describe a new method for the automatic generation of process parameters for fused filament fabrication (FFF) across varying machines and materials. We use an instrumented extruder to fit a function that maps nozzle pressures across varying flow rates and temperatures for a given machine and material configuration. We then develop a method to extract real parameters for flow rate and temperature using relative pressures and temperature offsets. Our method allows us to successfully find process parameters, u… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
