Plasma FDM – For Enhanced Isotropy
3D printing has changed manufacturing by offering design flexibility and faster product development. However, one challenge has been the strength of printed objects, especially in the Z direction. Objects printed with FDM processes are weaker in the Z-axis, a phenomenon known as anisotropy. To address this, researchers in Germany have combined plasma with FDM printing […]
