Abstract
A method for printing a three-dimensional part with an additive manufacturing system includes providing a consumable feedstock material comprising a semi-crystalline polymer containing one or more secondary materials, wherein the consumable feedstock material has a process window in which crystalline kinetics are either accelerated or retarded. The consumable feedstock material is melted in the additive manufacturing system. At least a portion of the three-dimensional part from the melted consumable feedstock material in a build environment maintained within the process window.
