Abstract:
A method for improving z-axis strength of a 3D printed object is disclosed. For example, the method includes printing a three-dimensional (3D) object with a polymer and magnetic particles, heating the 3D object to a temperature at approximately a melting temperature of the polymer, and applying a magnetic field to the 3D object to locally move the magnetic particles in the polymer to generate heat and fuse the polymer around the magnetic particles to improve a z-axis strength of the 3D object.

Abstract:
A wax layer may be applied to a print bed to promote adhesion and release of a printed part during additive manufacturing. Additive manufacturing methods may comprise: depositing a wax layer comprising one or more waxes upon a print bed of an additive manufacturing apparatus, and forming a printed part upon the print bed through layer-by-layer deposition of a printing material. The printed parts may be released from the print bed once printing is complete, but without damaging the print bed.
