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. Material extrusion-based additive manufacturing - Wikipedia

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

   The process for creating material extruded metal parts typically involves several stages, transforming them from plastic/metal composites to fully metal parts. 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 ...

4. 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.

5. 3D printing processes - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_printing_processes

   A filament of thermoplastic or other low melting point material or mixture is fed into an extrusion nozzle head (3D printer extruder), where the filament is heated to its melting temperature and extruded onto a build table. More recently, fused pellet deposition (or fused particle deposition) has been developed, where particles or pellets of ...

6. 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 ...

7. 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 .
