Advanced Curvilinear Finite Element Modeling of Thermally Induced Expansion in Large Format Extrusion‐Based Polymer Additive Manufacturing
Additive manufacturing of polymer‐based molds offers a cost‐effective alternative for composite tooling used in autoclave processes. However, accurately modeling their thermomechanical behavior remains challenging due to geometric complexity, process‐induced anisotropy inherent to fused deposition–based Large Format...
