← ScienceWhich risk increases when amorphous polymer filaments in fused deposition modeling become cooled past the glass transition by convection?
A)Delamination between printed layers occurs✓
B)Increased nozzle clogging from backflow
C)Thermal runaway in heated bed develops
D)Oxidation rate in filament increases
💡 Explanation
Delamination risk increases because stresses accumulate during solidification after the glass transition; the high viscosity prevents stress relaxation via viscous flow; therefore, brittle failure leading to poor layer adhesion is induced; rather than other thermal failure.
