This FLOW-3D simulation compares extrusion and deposition behavior using Newtonian and Giesekus rheology models. The viscoelastic fluid displays plug-like flow inside the nozzle and produces an uneven bead shape after deposition, in contrast to the smooth, uniform bead produced by the Newtonian fluid. This effect is significant for processes such as fused deposition modeling and robocasting, where bead geometry directly affects print quality.
