Designing Internal Structures to Maximize Z-Axis Strength
Designing Internal Structures to Maximize Z-Axis Strength I. Introduction: Defining the FDM Weakness Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) inherently produces parts that are anisotropic—meaning their mechanical properties vary significantly based on the direction of applied stress. The weakness lies predominantly in the Z-axis, or the interlayer bond ($F_z$), which is typically $40\%$ to $70\%$ weaker than the strength achieved along the X-Y plane ($F_{xy}$). This fundamental limitation prevents FDM parts from reliably serving in high-stress, load-bearing applications. At 3D Magician, our commitment to "Engineered for excellence" necessitates overcoming this structural asymmetry.... Read more
