Abstract A computationally simple one-dimensional model is described that can be used to study phase-change manipulation strategies for the droplet-based solid freeform fabrication of structural parts. The model uses a coordinate transformation to convert the moving boundary into a fixed one, thus simplifying immensely the numerical simulations. The model is proven to enable efficient tracking of the solid/liquid interface through the sequential solidification and remelting regimes, and more importantly, through the turning point defining the transition between solidification and remelting.
