Abstract
Control of filament geometry in extrusion based additive manufacturing is essential to guarantee the desired quality of the printing process and the final product. Depending on the selected process parameters, material strategy and geometrical features, the printing process can however be susceptible to filament tearing or filament buckling. In this work, 2D and 3D CFD simulations have been used to map the influence of all these parameters in the infinite brick regime of 3D concrete printing processes. Analytical derivations of a tearing factor and buckling factor are presented. The use of these analytical tools is then illustrated, by studying variations in the printing process, such as changes in velocities, nozzle height, or material properties. Finally, the risk of both filament tearing and buckling of a single filament when printing sharp turns is discussed.
