Filament Fabrication

Filament Fabrication is a 3D printing process that creates objects by melting and extruding a plastic filament through a heated nozzle. The nozzle moves in precise patterns to build up layers, one on top of the other, until the final shape is formed. It's commonly used for prototyping and manufacturing in various industries because it’s versatile, cost-effective, and accessible. The materials used are typically thermoplastics, allowing for a range of mechanical properties and applications, from simple toys to complex mechanical parts. Overall, it's a popular technique for turning digital designs into tangible objects.
