A Methodological Framework for Assessing the Influence of Process Parameters on Strand Stability and Functional Performance in Fused Filament Fabrication.

ABSTRACT: With an ever-increasing material and design space available for Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) technology, fabrication of complex three-dimensional structures with functional performance offers unique opportunities for product customization and performance-driven design. However, ensuring the quality and functionality of FFF-printed parts remains a significant challenge, as material-, process-, and system-level factors introduce variability and potentially hinder the translation of bulk material properties in the respective FFF counterparts. To this end, the present study presents a methodological framework for assessing the influence of process parameters on FFF strand stability and functional performance through a systematic analysis of FFF structural elements (1D stacks of FFF strands
