An interlaced toolpath strategy for void reduction in material extrusion additive manufacturing
Progress in Additive ManufacturingAbstract Material Extrusion (MEX) is one of the most popular forms of Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies due to its accessibility, versatility, and cost-effectiveness. However, the layer-by-layer and track-by-track nature of MEX technology is prone to the formation of defects, such as voids between deposited material tracks, which are ...
