Influence of Ambient Temperature on Part Distortion: A Simulation Study on Amorphous and Semi-Crystalline Polymer

Semi-crystalline polymers develop higher amounts of residual stress and part distortion (warpage) compared to amorphous polymers due to their crystalline nature. Additionally, the FDM processing parameters such as ambient temperature play an important role in the resulting residual stresses and part...
