Optimization of FDM process parameters for achieving fluid-tight TPU elastomers in pressurized oil environments

Achieving reliable fluid-tight sealing in pressurized fluid environments remains a significant challenge in Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) due to layer-by-layer micro-porosity (the “FDM Factor”). This study establishes a systematic framework for optimizing the process parameters of Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU 95...
