Material Science in Additive Manufacturing: Analysis Methods Used in Material Extrusion

Material extrusion is an additive manufacturing process, which uses continuous filament of thermoplastic or composite materials to construct 3D parts. The material is selectively dispensed through a nozzle or orifice. It is currently the most widespread form of 3D printing.

This week’s topic:

During the last episodes, we mainly talked about powder bed fusion. Today, Dr. Natalie Rudolph will be focusing on analysis methods used in material extrusion (ME).

Learn about:

• General influential factors on the properties of additive manufacturing components
• Critical parameters along the filament path and which analysis method to use
