3-D Printable Polymer Pelletizer Chopper for Fused Granular Fabrication-Based Additive Manufacturing
Although distributed additive manufacturing can provide high returns on investment, the current markup on commercial filament over base polymers limits deployment. These cost barriers can be surmounted by eliminating the entire process of fusing filament

A level set based method for fixing overhangs in 3D printing [PDF]
3D printers based on the Fused Decomposition Modeling create objects layer-by-layer dropping fused material. As a consequence, strong overhangs cannot be printed because the new-come material does not find a suitable support over the last deposed layer ...

Raster analysis of Fused Filament Fabrication process [PDF]
The objective of the present work is to study the raster generation to realize Fused Filament Fabrication parts. The research in this paper focused on the evaluation of the deposition of a simple geometry with a FFF machine, supported by an analytical model to compute the build time, also evaluating the geometrical variations caused by changes in ...

One-step volumetric additive manufacturing of complex polymer structures. [PDF]
Two limitations of additive manufacturing methods that arise from layer-based fabrication are slow speed and geometric constraints (which include poor surface quality). Both limitations are overcome in the work reported here, introducing a new volumetric
