Abstract
Recently, a large growth may be observed in the field of additive manufacturing. This technology allows for fabrication of geometrically complex functional parts directly from CAD models, without the necessity to use any tooling. The most common additive manufacturing methods utilized by the industry are based on extrusion of thermoplastic polymers (FDM—fused deposition modeling), however in present commercial applications the ability to control such processes is limited. In order to increase the capabilities of the FDM technology, it is crucial to develop accurate models of the key elements of the system and comprise them in process planning and monitoring/control algorithms. The purpose of this paper is to review and evaluate FDM process models proposed in literature.
