Using multi-axis material extrusion to improve mechanical properties through surface reinforcement

Due to the layer stacking inherent in traditional three-axis material extrusion (ME) additive manufacturing processes, a part's mechanical strength is limited in the print direction due to weaker interlayer bond strength. Often, this requires compromise in part design through either adding mate...
