Study on Material Anisotropy in Additively Manufactured Polymer Materials
Anisotropy in 3D printed parts, especially the parts printed via the FDM method, is known to be a major drawback in making high-quality and Thermo-electro-mechanically consistent parts.
The outcome of this study shows that choosing proper processing parameters as well as choosing proper material and additives could enormously impact the material properties of the parts printed via FDM.
