Understanding 3D Printing Vocabulary
12
ABS: An engineering polymer commonly used to produce car bumpers and Lego blocks - tough, strong, but safe for kids to handle.
Bed: The build plate of the 3D printer on which parts are made.
Extrude: The act of placing the build material on the build platform.
Extruder: Parts which handles feeding and extruding of the build material.
Filament: Plastic material made into string to be used as raw material in 3D printers.
Heated: A ______ bed is used to keep the baseof an extruded part from cooling (and shrinking too quickly.
PLA: A biodegradable thermoplastic derived from renewable resources such as corn starch and sugar canes. Cools quickly reducing warping.
STL: The recomended file format used to describe 3D projects.
Support: ______ material acts as support to allow overhangs, arches, etc. to be printed.
Thermoplastic: Any plastic which can be transitioned to a molten form by heating and then which solidifies again when it cools.
Raft: A technique used to prevent warping. Parts are built on top of a disposable material instead of directly on the build surface.
BST: Breakaway Support Technology used by printers which add disposable supports ot sloping, or overhanging parts.
