Claim 0:
1. An additive manufacturing method, comprising:
changing a cooling rate of a first amount of deposited material that includes a polymeric material by adding a first amount of a second material to the polymeric material, the cooling rate being a rate at which the deposited material cools after being deposited with an additive manufacturing apparatus;
providing the polymeric material and the first amount of the second material to the additive manufacturing apparatus;
depositing the polymeric material and the first amount of the second material with the additive manufacturing apparatus at a first deposition speed;
changing the cooling rate of a second amount of deposited material by adding a second amount of the second material to the polymeric material, the second amount being different than the first amount; and
further including increasing a maximum output of the additive manufacturing apparatus and depositing the polymeric material with the second amount of the second material with the additive manufacturing apparatus.
