How the Process Works
Material filament is pulled into the FDM head by the drive wheels. It
enters the liquefier where it is heated until the material reaches a
near-liquid state. As the material comes out the FDM tip, it bonds to
previously deposited material. The modeling envelope temperature is
regulated to aid in the bonding process. The head movement and
material flow information (SML code) for each slice curve is down-
loaded to the FDM. The FDM head deposits material as it follows the
part geometry for each curve. It starts from the bottom curve and
builds up the model to the top curve.
