Strength and toughness enhancement in 3d printing via bioinspired tool path

Mechanical properties such as strength, toughness and anisotropy are significant in 3D printing technology. Unfortunately, the strength and toughness are often mutually exclusive, and are therefore difficult to be enhanced simultaneously. Here, a bioinspired parallel-scan path is proposed to increas...
