filament
In the 3D printing context, filament generally refers to the
plastic filament that the printer melts and prints; PLA and
ABS are two of the most common materials for 3D printer
filament.

Gcode
Gcode, sometimes written as “Gcode”, is a numerical con-
trol programming language used to control the operation
of machine tools such as 3D printers. While there is an
international standard for G-code, the 3D printing com-
munity loosely adheres to it. For example, different 3D
printers accept different variations of G-code. The specific
G-codes produced by different slicers and accepted by dif-
ferent printers are often not well specified.
