What is 3D printing and how does it work?
3D printing describes the process in which, under computer control, material is joined together to create a three dimensional object. 3D printing comes in the class of additive manufacturing. The method we currently use is FFF (fused filament fabrication) more commonly referred to as FDM (fused deposition modelling). This is the process of additively building up an object or part one layer at a time. A spool of filament is loaded onto the machine and is fed through a heated nozzle which melts the filament. The hot end is then moved around the build area at precise locations where it cools down and solidifies. Once a layer is complete, the build gantry raises and repeats this process until the desired item/part is complete.
