Application of Numerical Modeling and Finite Element Analysis in Fused Filament Fabrication: A Review.

Additive manufacturing (AM) is not necessarily a new process but an advanced method for manufacturing complex three-dimensional (3D) parts. Among the several advantages of AM are the affordable cost, capability of building objects with complex structures for small-batch production, and raw material versatility. There are several sub-categories of AM, among which is fused filament fabrication (FFF), also commonly known as fused deposition modeling (FDM).

Additive manufacturing (AM) also commonly known as 3D printing is an advanced technique for manufacturing complex three-dimensional (3D) parts by depositing raw material layer by layer. Various sub-categories of additive manufacturing exist including directed energy deposition (DED), powder bed fusion (PBF), and fused deposition modeling (FDM). FDM has gained widespread adoption as a popular method for manufacturing 3D parts, even for heavy-duty industrial applications.
