The incremental technologies, known for over 20 years, i.e.
3D printing, have been rediscovered recently. The availability
and falling price of 3D printers have contributed to the increased
popularity of this manufacturing technique. One of the most popular
and cheapest printing technologies is FDM i.e. applying molten
thermoplastic material layer by layer. Usually FDM technology is
