Fused Filament Fabrication (also known as Fused Deposition Modeling - FDM) describes the process of continuously extruding a line of thermoplastic material to form a three dimensional model. [1] The FFF process supports a variety of materials reaching from bio degradable ones like PLA to PETG , ABS and engineering grade materials like PEEK .
Prusa i3, a simple fused filament printer. Fused filament fabrication (FFF), also known as fused deposition modeling (with the trademarked acronym FDM), or filament freeform fabrication, is a 3D printing process that uses a continuous filament of a thermoplastic material. [1] Filament is fed from a large spool through a moving, heated printer ...
Food presentation and food appearance customization for individuals is a big trend in the food industry. So far food customization and creative designs have required hand-made skills, which results in low production rate and high cost. 3D food printing can overcome this problem by providing the necessary tools for creative food design even for ...

Ultimaker is a 3D printer-manufacturing company based in the Netherlands, with offices and assembly lines in the US. [1] They make fused filament fabrication 3D printers, develop 3D printing software, and sell branded 3D printing materials. [2]
Printing: The process begins with printing the part using a filament containing metal powder bound in plastic. This filament, similar to that used in conventional FFF printers, is infused with metal. The printer deposits the metal-infused filament layer by layer, building up the shape of the part. These printed parts are referred to as "green ...
In January 2015, 3D Systems acquired the 3D printer manufacturer botObjects, the first company to commercialize a full-color printer using the fused filament fabrication technique. [18] botObjects was founded by Martin Warner and Mike Duma (CTO).
A second frame piece served as a lightweight mount for the heated bed. Rather than having a baseplate, Prusa retained the M10 threaded rods to support the heated bed Y-axis. It used a single piece, food safe stainless steel hot end called the Prusa Nozzle which printed with 3 mm filament, and used M5 threaded rods as lead screws instead of M8.
