Abstract

Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a modern technology that enhances manufacturing by building thin layers of material from digitized (3D) designs, entirely constructed using advanced CAD software. This method facilitates the creation of new types of objects with unique material properties. However, while AM is often hailed as the next industrial revolution, significant challenges remain for its successful commercialization. This project focuses on the microstructural aspects and the dimensional accuracy of the product. Additionally, the paper discusses the slicing algorithm and the material extrusion process in detail.
