# Summary

This data archive contains the underlying data for the conference publication entitled "Using Finite Element Analysis to Influence the Infill Design of Fused Deposition Modelled Parts". The paper has been accepted for publication in the journal: Progress in Additive Manfacturing.

The paper describes a process that uses results attained from Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to influence the design of the internal structure (i.e. infill) of 3D printed parts by locally varying the composition of the infill based upon the associated stress values.

# Dataset

The dataset comes in the form of a zip file that contains the following folders:

** Beam Print Files **
This contains the gcode of the beams that were printed for testing.

** Beam STL **
The original STL file used in the infill generation process.

** Instron Test Results **
The orginal test results and plots for the four test cases that were investigated in the paper.

** Python Notebook **
This contains a python notebook that provides a coded tutorial of the infill generation process for a beam undergoing three-point loading.

There is also a video the demonstrates how the infill varies as one increases the infill percentage.
