The present disclosure provides methods and systems for printing a three-dimensional (3D) object. A model of the 3D object, in computer memory, may be received. Next, at least one filament material from a source may be directed towards a build platform configured to support the 3D object, thereby depositing a first layer of a portion of the 3D object. The at least one filament material may be used to deposit a second layer corresponding to at least a portion of the 3D object. The first and second layers may be deposited in accordance with the model of the 3D object. While, the second layer is being deposited, at least one energy beam may selectively heat a first portion of the first layer and a second portion of the at least one filament material. The first portion may be brought in contact with the second portion.
