Strengthening of 3D printed fused deposition manufactured parts using the fill compositing technique.

In this paper, we present a technique for increasing the strength of thermoplastic fused deposition manufactured printed parts while retaining the benefits of the process such as ease, speed of implementation, and complex part geometries. By carefully placing voids in the printed parts and filling t...
