A Parametric Study of Part Distortions in FDM Using 3D FEA [PDF]
, 2006 We developed a finite element model to simulate the fused deposition modeling (FDM) process. The model considers the coupled thermal and mechanical analysis and incorporates the element activation function to mimic the additive nature of FDM.

Variable fused deposition modelling - concept design and tool path generation [PDF]
, 2011 Current Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) techniques use fixed diameter nozzles to deposit a filament of plastic layer by layer. The consequence is that the same small nozzle, essential for fine details, is also used to fill in relatively large volumes ...
