Rheological investigation and modeling of healing properties during extrusion‐based 3D printing of poly(lactic‐acid)

Submitted by Xavier Morelle on

Dear fellow iMechanicians,

Here is our recent paper that studies and models the rheological behavior of PLA deposited by 3D printing and allows to highlight the important process parameters than enable a full healing of the interface between printed layers.
