Discrete-Event Simulation Thermal Model for Extrusion-Based Additive Manufacturing of PLA and ABS

The material properties of thermoplastic polymer parts manufactured by the extrusion-based additive manufacturing process are highly dependent on the thermal history. Different numerical models have been proposed to simulate the thermal history of a 3D-printed part. However, they are limited due to...
