Abstract

Models printed using Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) are characterized by their layered texture, created by the production process. In recent years more focus has been paid towards creating a customized and controllable texture. Controlling the texture can be done using CAD, slicing software or toolpath manipulation. In this early work, we present a method for generating a toolpath that fabricates a drop-like texture for FDM using PLA and TPU materials. The developed texture would be difficult to achieve using other methods. We demonstrate the potential of the drops to provide structural strength, haptic surfaces, and lenticular effects.
