1.1 Structural Mechanics of 3D-Printed Cores In Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), the interior of a printed object is rarely solid.
In Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), the interior of a printed object is rarely solid. To optimize print speed, weight, and material consumption, parts are sliced with an internal lattice structure known as Infill. From an engineering standpoint, a 3D-printed part functions as a sandwich structure or a stressed-skin composite:
