ABSTRACT: The performance in service of parts produced by fused deposition techniques, such as Fused
Deposition Modeling (FDM) or Free Form Extrusion (FFE), may be restricted by poor bonding between adjacent
filaments. This work presents a model for transient heat transfer during filament deposition, which involves ...
