To reduce anisotropy in FDM and DIW parts, strategies include optimizing print parameters (raster angle, layer height, print speed), adding fillers (fibers or nanoparticles), multi-axis printing to deposit along load paths, and post-processing like thermal annealing or isostatic pressing to improve interlayer bonding and Z-direction strength.
