Unidirectional Layering Unidirectional layering involves printing all layers in the same direction, enhancing mechanical strength along the layer lines. It optimizes stress distribution and load-bearing capacity for parts subjected to directional forces. Unidirectional layering is commonly used in composite 3D printing with continuous fibers like carbon or glass. Proper layer orientation, infill patterns, and flow control ensure consistent layer bonding and structural integrity. It enhances rigidity, impact resistance, and fatigue strength, supporting high-performance applications in aerospace, automotive, and industrial components. |
