FFF Technology
BCN3D+ is a 3D printer based on fused filament fabrication additive manufacturing technology, consisting in the
deposition of melted material layer by layer based on a previously divided digital model.
The head makes the necessary movements to deposit a layer of material, then a slight vertical movement to continue
with the next layer. The process is repeated until the full object is completed.
The printer is ready to accept any add-on published by RepRapBCN through an easy and guide lined process. One of
its main features is interchangeable extruder heads, either for using multiple heads at the same time or extruders
designed for several other textures and materials.
The filament is lead
to the extruder
Through rotation, the extruder
uses a hobbed bolt to insert the
right amount of filament
The hot filament is extracted through
the extruder with a smaller diamater
The printing surface moves along the X/Y/Z
axes to deposit the material
The material is distributed through
the model when necessary
The heatblock fuses the filament to a
workable temperature
