The Thermodynamics of Warping Warping is the physical deformation of a 3D printed part caused by differential thermal contraction as the extruded thermoplastic cools from its melting point to room
Warping is the physical deformation of a 3D printed part caused by differential thermal contraction as the extruded thermoplastic cools from its melting point to room temperature. This contraction is governed by the linear thermal expansion formula:
