... having to modify its material modeling equations. Practical implications The results obtained are of great help to industry, designers and researchers because they validate the use of recycled rPET for the ecological production of real-sustainable products using MEX technology under compressive...

... for a collaborative material extrusion architecture. The anticipated trilemma leads to the need for practical solutions, such as the introduction of MEX designs with multiple extrusion heads: as a consequence, a modification in both machines and process planning to manage print head synchronisation must...

... the efficacy of material extrusion (MEx) in producing complex geometries, select manufacturing constraints are still required. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to develop a TO code which demonstrates the incorporation of MEx specific manufacturing constraints into a numerical optimization algorithm...

...Jakub Bryła Purpose This paper aims to investigate the influence of the manufacturing stages on three-dimensionally printed elements via material extrusion (MEX). Design/methodology/approach Three factors were identified: the printer, slicer and filament. The impact of each of them...
