2. Fused filament fabrication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fused_filament_fabrication

   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 extruder head, and is deposited on the ...

3. FDM printing file formats - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FDM_Printing_file_formats

   FDM (fused deposition modeling) printing is one of the most popular types of 3D printing, [1] it is used throughout different engineering industries (medical, robotics, automotive) [1] and also has a great number of individual users that enjoy 3D-printing as a hobby. [2] FDM printing is so popular because it can produce near finished models of ...

4. 3D printing processes - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_printing_processes

   Computer-Aided Design (CAD) model used for 3D printing. The manual modeling process of preparing geometric data for 3D computer graphics is similar to plastic arts such as sculpting. 3D scanning is a process of collecting digital data on the shape and appearance of a real object, creating a digital model based on it.

5. 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.

6. Multi-material 3D printing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-material_3D_printing

   Multi-material 3D printing is the additive manufacturing procedure of using multiple materials at the same time to fabricate an object. Similar to single material additive manufacturing it can be realised through methods such as FFF , SLA and Inkjet (material jetting) 3D printing .

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. 3D printing filament - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_printing_filament

   3D printing filament in different colours with models created using the filament. 3D printing filament is the thermoplastic feedstock for fused deposition modeling 3D printers . There are many types of filament available with different properties.
