What Is The Principle Of Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM)?
FDM is an additive manufacturing technique that joins materials to produce 3D objects. Melted polymer-based filaments are printed in 2D layers onto a build platform by an FDM 3D printer. The layers fuse together to form a 3D component when they cool and solidify. The polymer-based filament is fed into a heated nozzle located within the print head. The heated nozzle heats the filament to its melting point before extruding it onto the build plate. It is important for the heated nozzle to be able to maintain its temperature. If the temperature fluctuates, it might cause the nozzle to not melt the filaments adequately or it may cause overheating. When compared to other types of 3D printing, FDM is more reasonably priced and requires minimal post-processing.
The Features of Bambu Lab 3D Printers
- Fast printing speeds of up to 500mm/s, making it one of the fastest 3D printers in the market.
- Its multi material compatibility allows it to support a wide range of materials. (e.g. PLA, ABS, PETG)
- The Automatic Material System (AMS) allows the printer to support to up to 16 colours.
- Its User-Friendly interface such as the touchscreen on the printer and software is easy for users to navigate.
- High Printing Resolution resulting in a more detailed and accurate print.
- It Fully-Auto Calibrates the printer, not requiring users to manually adjust it.
- It has a silent mode that is under 48 dB, making it suitable for users to print overnight at home.
- It uses coreXY motion system which prints at a top speed of up to 500mm/s
