FFF Printer
Fused filament fabrication (FFF) is a 3D printing process that uses a continuous filament of a thermoplastic material which are based on the ability to print layers of plastic which are fused together using a heating element. It is a fusion of the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) and Stereolithography processes. The primary mechanism behind FFF is a controlled extrusion nozzle, usually a stepper motor-driven syringe pump that feeds a fine filament from a spool into a heated chamber where it melts and becomes semi-fluid. This extrusion process is automated and controlled by a microcontroller. The nozzle deposits the semi-fluid filament onto a build platform (typically made of glass or acrylic), where it cools and solidifies into a shape defined by computer-aided design (CAD) instructions.
A Fused deposition modeling 3D printer (FFF) is a special type of 3D printer that can be used to make tangible objects from 3D computer aided design (CAD) models by laying down successive layers of material. It builds objects with successive layers of filament, each layer deposited horizontally and built up vertically. The process of laying down the layers is repeated until the object has been built. The layers are bound together by a special glue, typically made from a material such as acrylate, but other binders have been used. FFF technology is used in fused deposition modeling (FDM) and fused filament fabrication (FFF).
The factors for choosing Fused Filament Fabrication 3D Printer is speeds, size of printing area, availability of materials for printing, support third party filament, printing accuracy, durability, ease of use and affordability.
The fused filament fabrication 3D printer's print speed may be a key factor when selecting a machine. The 3D printing speed for Fused Filament Fabrication 3D printer is between about 50mm/s to 250mm/s. If you intend to do a lot of 3D printing, a higher print speed will help to reduce your overall downtime. A higher print speed will reduce your downtime. The right print speed for you will depend on the nature of your work.
