Claim 11:
12. An additive manufacturing method, comprising:
changing a cooling rate of a first deposited material by adding a first amount of a second material to a first material, the cooling rate being a rate at which the first deposited material cools after being deposited with an additive manufacturing apparatus;
providing the first material and the first amount of second material to an extruder of the additive manufacturing apparatus;
depositing the first material and the first amount of the second material with the additive manufacturing apparatus to form the first deposited material;
changing the cooling rate of a second deposited material by adding a second amount of the second material to the first material, the second amount being less than the first amount;

depositing the first material and the second amount of the second material with the additive manufacturing apparatus to form the second deposited material; and
increasing a maximum output of the additive manufacturing apparatus and depositing a polymeric material with the second amount of the second material with the additive manufacturing apparatus.
