Optimizing Strength of FFF Parts

  • Final Update: FFF Strength Optimization

    Material Anisotropy   Material Anisotropy is the phenomenon that a material will not have the same mechanical properties in every direction[2]. This is especially evident in 3D printed materials, where the part will be much …

  • FFF Strength Optimization Update

    New Test Part   The test part for this project is from one of our member’s senior design project. Our original proposal was to test the fixed hook end. Developments in the design project showed …

  • Optimizing Strength of FFF Parts

    Introduction: One of the largest downsides to fused deposition modeling (FDM) is the poor mechanical properties of printed parts. Due to the layer-wise process used to build a part, the final product is likely to …
