2. 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 ...

3. Extruder (3D printing) - Wikipedia

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

   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 used in filament 3D printers is the direct-drive extruder, which sits closer to the extruder hot end.

4. Polylactic acid - Wikipedia

   PLA objects can be fabricated by 3D printing, casting, injection moulding, extrusion, machining, and solvent welding. PLA filament for use in 3D printing. PLA is used as a feedstock material in desktop fused filament fabrication by 3D printers, such as RepRap printers. [39] [40] PLA can be solvent welded using dichloromethane. [41]

5. Fused filament fabrication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fused_filament_fabrication

   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 ...

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. Multi-material 3D printing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-material_3D_printing

   A binder jetting 3D printer uses particles of a fine-grained powder, which are fused together using a binder, to form a three-dimensional object. [2] In principle, it consists out of two separate chambers: One functions as a reservoir for the powdered material, the other one as the printing chamber.
