Investigation on freeform fabrication part orientation and dimensional accuracy

Fine features are important in manufacturing as many applications such as clips and screw boss require it. Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) machine is the most commonly used Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology, however, due to the material extrusion process, its capability to produce fine feature...
