Aligning material extrusion direction with mechanical stress via 5-axis tool paths

Mechanical properties of parts fabricated via the Material Extrusion (ME) process can be improved by optimising process settings, however, their properties are strongly influenced by build orientation due to the stair-stepping effect initiating cracks whilst under load. 5-axis ME enables the fabrica...
