The framework incorporates a volume-preserving unwrapping formulation and a calibrated flow-ratio compensation factor that significantly improves extrusion continuity and seam-line closure. Multi-material dissolvable raft support strategies are implemented to enhance mandrel tolerance control, adhesion tuning, and sustainable detachment. The framework is validated through comprehensive quantitative experiments.

Annular-ring tests verify the effectiveness of correction in eliminating seam gaps. Scanning electron microscopy and optical cross-section imaging confirm interlayer fidelity and void-free dual-material bonding. Comparative studies further show notable reductions in material consumption and energy usage relative to planar printing with dense supports. Demonstrations across auxetic lattices, re-entrant structures, chiral shells, spiral geometries, and thin-walled cylinders highlight the robustness and versatility of the approach.

This approach enabled the creation of structurally comparable graphene/Al systems, facilitating the isolated evaluation of the lateral size effects. Comprehensive microstructural and tribological analyses revealed that the composite reinforced with medium-sized graphene exhibited the lowest coefficient of friction, narrowest wear track, and most stable worn surface. These improvements are attributed to the formation of continuous and well-bonded graphene networks, which effectively reduce Al abrasion and oxidation. In contrast, small-sized graphene provided insufficient surface coverage, whereas large-sized graphene exhibited stacking and detachment, both of which compromised the tribological performance. Unlike most previous studies that primarily focused on graphene content, this work systematically investigates the role of graphene lateral size.
