Dataset Description

In embedded 3D printing, a nozzle is embedded into a support bath and extrudes filaments or droplets into the bath. However, moving the nozzle near an existing structure and writing new filaments can cause deformation and lack-of-fusion defects. Using OpenFOAM, we simulated what happens when a nozzle moves near an existing filament, and when a nozzle writes a second filament next to an existing filament. OpenFOAM is an open source computational fluid dynamics solver. This work used OpenFOAM 8 on a computing cluster. OpenFOAM input files were generated using Python 3.7. Output files were analyzed using Paraview 5.8.0 and Python 3.7.
