Abstract

A method and system for manufacturing a three-dimensional porous structure. Filaments are deposited in a predetermined interconnected arrangement in a plurality of stacked layers for forming a porous structure with interconnected pores. A pressure value indicative of a pressure being applied on the build material in the build material reservoir of a nozzle used for deposition is monitored during deposition of the filaments. The processing unit is configured to adjust at least one extrusion parameter in order to compensate for the irregular rising and/or falling of the pressure value.
