Ozdemir, Mehmet (author), Doubrovski, E.L. (author)We propose a new approach to obtain local property variations in 3D-printed objects using a single-nozzle 3D printer and one filament. We use foaming filaments which expand at different rates due to different temperatures. We present an approach to harness this varying expansion by including parameters of the 3D printing process in the design...conference paper 2023
