Abstract
A method for printing three-dimensional parts includes building a three-dimensional part by printing counter-wound slices. By winding adjacent slices in alternating directions, offsetting stored torques can be produced for each printed slice. The stored torques then neutralize one another during the debinding and sintering process, reducing part twists and deformations.
