Abstract:Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is one of most widely used 3D printing technologies due to inexpensive equipment and materials, and easy to operate. FDM forms a 3D geometry by slicing a model along the XY-plane and assembling the resulting individual layers along the Z-axis, with extruded thermoplastic filaments. FDM printed parts usually need supporting structures, have stair step effect, and unfavorable mechanical properties. In order to address these deficiencies, a five-axis 3D printer and corresponding pr… Show more
