  2. Extruder (3D printing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extruder_(3D_printing)

    A 3D printer extruder is a filament feeding mechanism used in many fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printers. There are several types of 3D printer extruders. A Bowden extruder is a type of extruder that pushes filament through a long and flexible PTFE (Teflon) tube to the hot end. [1] An alternative type of extruder which is also widely ...

  3. 3D printing filament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_printing_filament

    3D printing filament is the thermoplastic feedstock for fused deposition modeling 3D printers. There are many types of filament available with different properties. [1] Filament comes in a range of diameters, most commonly 1.75 mm and 2.85 mm, [2] with the latter often being confused with the less common 3 mm. [3] Filament consists of one ...

  4. Material extrusion-based additive manufacturing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Material_extrusion-based...

    Material extrusion-based additive manufacturing (EAM) represents one of the seven categories of 3D printing processes, defined by the ISO international standard 17296-2. While it is mostly used for plastics, under the name of FDM or FFF , it can also be used for metals and ceramics.

  5. Fused filament fabrication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fused_filament_fabrication

    A desktop FFF printer made by Stratasys. Fused deposition modeling was developed by S. Scott Crump, co-founder of Stratasys, in 1988. [6] [7] With the 2009 expiration of the patent on this technology, [8] people could use this type of printing without paying Stratasys for the right to do so, opening up commercial, DIY, and open-source 3D printer applications.

  6. 3D printing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_printing

    3D printing, or additive manufacturing, is the construction of a three-dimensional object from a CAD model or a digital 3D model. [1] [2] [3] It can be done in a variety of processes in which material is deposited, joined or solidified under computer control, [4] with the material being added together (such as plastics, liquids or powder grains being fused), typically layer by layer.

  7. Extrusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extrusion

    Mixing elements or convey elements are used in various formations. Extrusion is common in the application of adding colorant to molten plastic thus creating specific custom color. Extrusion is also a process used in fused filament deposition 3D printers, whereby the extruder is often composed of a geared motor pushing plastic filament through a ...

  8. Troubleshooting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troubleshooting

    Troubleshooting is a form of problem solving, often applied to repair failed products or processes on a machine or a system.It is a logical, systematic search for the source of a problem in order to solve it, and make the product or process operational again.

  9. 3D concrete printing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_concrete_printing

    TU/e Built Environment's Rohaco 3D Concrete Printer being extensively used for Concrete Printing Research. 3D concrete printing, or simply concrete printing, refers to digital fabrication processes for cementitious materials based on one of several different 3D printing technologies. 3D-printed concrete eliminates the need for formwork, reducing material waste and allowing for greater ...
