FAQ:

Q: What is the purpose of the filament in a 3D printer?

A: Differentiated from powder and liquid resin for other 3D printing technology, the filament is produced into one continuous slender plastic thread in hundred meters long, which is usually spooled into a reel for purpose of storage and printer feeding.

Q: What filament is suitable for your 3D printing project?

A: PLA is the most common material used in 3D printing. It is the default option for many printers, and you will typically find a spool of PLA in the box when you first get a new 3D printer. It’s an inexpensive plastic that is made from renewable products (cornstarch-based plastic). PLA is one of the easiest filaments to use.

Q: How is the filament that is used in 3D printing made?

A: Stacks of commercially produced filament which have been shrink-wrapped to protect the filament from moisture. 3D printing filament is created using a process of heating, extruding and cooling plastic to transform nurdles into the finished product.

Q: What is extrusion in 3D printing?

A: According to the ASTM International standards organization, extrusion is the official name given to a specific 3D printing process where material is selectively dispensed through a nozzle or orifice. Extrusion is more commonly known as Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)®,…
