Additive Manufacturing (AM) has increased in popularity and attracted much attention from many fields such as automotive, aviation, aerospace, and even the fashion industry. Since the early 2000s, Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technologies have been the most popular in the AM world ("Wohlers Talk" Popularity of FDM). These technologies have been mainly used for building parts for prototype and structural type of applications such as a fixture for components or a housing for mechanisms.

With the current state of the FDM technologies, the functionality of the parts that are printed are limited to the applications listed before or simply just …
