A Finite Element Method to Predict the Mechanical Behavior of a Pre-Structured Material Manufactured by Fused Filament Fabrication in 3D Printing

In this paper, a numerical method is proposed to simulate the mechanical behavior of a new polymeric pre-structured material manufactured by fused filament fabrication (FFF), where the filaments are oriented along the principal stress directions. The model implements optimized filament orientations,...
