2. 3D Printing hardware and types of 3D Printers for Material extrusion (FDM).

3D Printing hardware and types of 3D Printers for Material extrusion (FDM). Components of a typical FDM printer (Extruder, Hotend, nozzle, steppers, fans, bed, leveling sensor, other sensors etc.). Bed leveling manual or automatic. Different types of FDM printer (Cartesian or polar or Delta, open or with enclosure, dual filament etc.)

Learning outcomes:

After the completion of the webinar, participants should be able to:

1. Describe the basic parts of an FDM 3D Printer and identify the characteristics that are significant for a quality final print.
2. Describe how to fine tune an FDM printer (feed the filament properly, level the printer's bed, etc.) in order to achieve better printing quality and avoid printing failures
3. Decide on using different types of polishing and finishing techniques on a 3d printed part to improve the quality and appearance of the part.
