A process for making an article by additive manufacture having resistance to dripping when burned comprising (1) depositing a multitude of thermoplastic monofilament strands using a fused deposition modeling apparatus in a pattern and (2) fusing the multitude of strands together to make an article of manufacture having voids therein; wherein the article of additive manufacture has (a) at least 50% of the monofilament strands oriented within 45 degrees of the long part of the axis; (b) the multitude of strands is greater than 10; (c) having a specific micro structure; and (d) is made from a thermoplastic polymer composition that is either the combination of a thermoplastic polymer with a flame retardant compound, a thermoplastic resin having flame resistant properties, or a combination of a thermoplastic resin having flame resistant properties with a flame retardant compound.
