3D<\/span> printers<\/b><\/a> manage<\/span> to build objects in an almost magical way<\/b> for the human eye. His <\/span>industry application<\/b> has brought with it numerous benefits related to the profitability and construction time of the objects. But how does a 3D printer really work? At Makinak we want to explain it to you in the simplest way. <\/span><\/p>\n

How does an FDM 3D printer work?<\/span><\/h2>\n

The 3D FDM printer is used in the industrial field<\/b>. FDM (Fused Layout Modeling) technology enables <\/span>create durable and resistant objects with great precision<\/b>. It is used to create <\/span>parts faster and cheaper than the traditional way. <\/b><\/p>\n

They work in the following way: the printer<\/span> melts a thread or filament of the chosen plastic material<\/b> , deposits it on the base of the printer and,<\/span> layer by layer<\/b>, is forming the sought object. The process that the 3D FDM printer carries out until it reaches the final product is simpler than it may seem at first glance. <\/span>It can be divided into 2 phases<\/b> :<\/span><\/p>\n

Product design<\/span><\/h3>\n

Before starting the printing of the<\/span> product,<\/b> a process must be<\/span> followed<\/b> :<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n
      \n
    1. You have to<\/span> design the product.<\/b>. Through computer programs, the object is designed in a <\/span>three dimensional<\/b> .<\/span> <\/li>\n
    2. It is necessary to pass the part through a<\/span> Slicer<\/i><\/b> program , that is, a program that<\/span> divides the object into layers<\/b> to adjust it to the parameters of the printer.<\/span> <\/li>\n
    3. The printer is adjusted with the<\/span> G Code<\/i><\/b>. This numerical programming code is read by the printer to know <\/span>what movements it must follow and at what speed it must do them<\/b> to achieve the object that we have designed.<\/span> <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      • It’s time to print!<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        product printing<\/span><\/h3>\n
          \n
        1. \n
            \n
          1. The first step to start printing is to<\/span> introduce the plastic filament<\/b>. This is placed <\/span>wound on a spool<\/b> and fed into the printer through the<\/span> extruder<\/b> .<\/span> <\/li>\n
          2. The<\/span> extruder pushes this filament until it reaches the<\/b> hotend<\/i><\/b> or melter. It is in this part where, thanks to the fact that the fuser heats up <\/span>180 degrees<\/b> ,<\/span> the plastic melts<\/b> and you can start building.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
              \n
            • The molten filament exits through a nozzle and<\/span> begins to deposit on the base of the printer.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                \n
              1. \n
                  \n
                1. The printer has<\/span> three axes<\/b> on which<\/span> the hotend<\/i><\/b> moves<\/b> in order to shape the object.<\/span> Layer by layer, the plastic material is deposited<\/b> until all the instructions marked by the<\/span> G Code<\/span><\/i> are completed .<\/span> <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                    \n
                  • Once all the scheduled movements have been completed,<\/span> we already have the object we were looking for!<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
