of 3D printed polymer composites using FDM process. The mechanical behavior of 3D printed composites was
determined using the homogenization technique based on the RVE notion. Recent uses of this technology in the
area of electronics, aerospace and biomedical engineering were highlighted. Finally, important benefits and
limitations were identified in order to clarify and motivate future works in this field.

In this section, the Poisson process was used to create the RVE with a
random distribution of the pores. By using this process, pores are
consecutively added into the matrix of the RVE by randomly generated
coordinate center, and then it is checked to avoid the overlap scheme for
the hard model or with intersection for the case of Boolean model. The
repulsion distance, or the minimum distance between two neighboring
pores, is defined in the algorithm in order to create an adequate finite
element mesh. Not that, the contour of pores is not very close to
boundaries of RVE in order to avoid the occurrence of distorted finite
elements. Therefore, the pore is accepted only when the center distance

exceed the minimum distance and the fixed volume fraction. Using the
Poisson process, it is not possible to create a volume fraction up to 28%
without overlapping of pores. The microstructure is controlled by three
principal morphological parameters as: pore volume fractions, number
and size of pores. Fig. 19 shows an example of porous polymers created
with the Poisson process. These RVEs can be used for numerical
modeling of mechanical properties of 3D printed composites.
For example, in an FDM process, the polymer was heated up to the
melt state and then extruded through a nozzle. The extruded polymer is
then deposited on the previous layer as shown in Fig. 20, creating a
uniform distribution of pores trough 3D printing polymers. For the case
of uniform distribution of pores, different RVEs are possible namely;
square arrangement and hexagonal arrangement. There are two con
