Void reduction in fused filament fabrication (FFF) through in situ nozzle-integrated compression rolling of deposited filaments

The rastering of discrete polymer filaments during Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) results in the formation of voids between filaments, leading to poor properties and performance of the printed part. Minimising voids and improving filament-to-filament adhesion remains a key technological challenge...
