2D Fusion Simulations and Experimental Confirmations of Print Paths Using Composite Particles with Particle Method for Fused Filament Fabrication

Printing short fibre/thermoplastic composites using the fused filament fabrication method sometimes creates a gap between print paths. In this study, two-dimensional moving particle semi-implicit for liquid simulation was applied to simulate print-path fusion process. The three-dimensional movement of nozzle simulated sliding motion nozzle. printing carbon fibre/polyamide-6 composites, and results were compared with those experiments. cross-sectional configuration agreed well experimental results. This will enable optimization process parameters thus reducing
