A Particle Element Approach for Modelling the 3D Printing Process of Fibre Reinforced Polymer Composites

This paper presents a new numerical approach for modelling the 3D printing process of fibre reinforced polymer composites by fused deposition modelling (FDM). The approach is based on the coupling between two particle methods, namely smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) and discrete element method...
