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. 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.

4. Prusa i3 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prusa_i3

   Josef Průša was a core developer of the RepRap project who had previously developed a PCB heated "print bed". He adapted and simplified the RepRap Mendel design, reducing the time to print 3D plastic parts from 20 to 10 hours, changing to the use of two Z-axis motors to simplify the frame, and including 3D printed bushings in place of regular bearings.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. Plastic extrusion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_extrusion

   Plastics extrusion is a high-volume manufacturing process in which raw plastic is melted and formed into a continuous profile. Extrusion produces items such as pipe/tubing, weatherstripping, fencing, deck railings, window frames, plastic films and sheeting, thermoplastic coatings, and wire insulation.

9. 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.
