Non-planar layer Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is any form of fused deposition modeling where the 3D printed layers aren’t flat or of uniform thickness. For example, if you’re using mesh ...

This chapter explains fused deposition modeling (FDM) technology appeared in the early 1990s. The FDM machine consists of a movable heater head which deposits molten materials on a substrate.

The FDM was used to calculate the temperature distribution while the FEM was used for the stress simulation. For practical application, a machine tool bed iron casting was selected and the high ...
