Additive Manufacturing is currently growing fast, especially fused deposition modeling
(FDM), also known as fused filament fabrication (FFF). When manufacturing parts use FDM …

Additive manufacturing (AM) has developed rapidly since its inception in the 1980s. AM is
perceived as an environmentally friendly and sustainable technology and has already …

We propose a numerical model to simulate the extrusion of a strand of semi-molten material
on a moving substrate, within the computation fluid dynamics paradigm. According to the …

We investigate experimentally and numerically the influence of the processing conditions on
the cross-section of a strand printed by material extrusion additive manufacturing. The parts …

To date, the materials used for fused filament fabrication (FFF) are commercially available
plastics that can be extruded, such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene and poly (lactic acid) …

Abstract The potential of Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) technology to produce very
complex geometrics has a profound impact on the physical world. Practitioners in the …

Polymer composites have been widely used in the aviation, aerospace, automotive, military,
