“…Nowadays, the 3D printing industry is growing fast, and moving from the segment of rapid prototyping (RP) and marketing to include fully functional machine parts, leading to a new industrial revolution [1], [2]. Most popular 3D printing technologies include: fused deposition modelling (FDM), selective laser melting (SLM), stereolithography (STL), laminated object manufacturing (LOM) [3], and are available for printing polymers [4], [5] and metals [6], [7]. Several authors have worked on the evaluation of the dimensional accuracy and the mechanical properties of parts manufactured by FDM, both in industrial and desktop printers [4], [8]- [11], desktop printers usually using ABS, polycarbonate (PC) or polylactic acid (PLA) as thermoplastic raw materials [12].…”
