Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is a well-known technology that is capable of fabricating three-dimensional prototypes with very complex geometries. However, the physical model built with acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) filament using a low-cost FDM machine is not satisfactory for most general...
