Channel: Design & Manufacturing Futures Lab
Date: 2020-09-25

This video is intended to be an introduction to the material extrusion (also known as fused deposition modelling or fused filament fabrication) technology. The aim of the video is to provide the basic understanding required to provide a foundation level knowledge to the viewer, allowing them to start printing their own designs with greater success. Initially written and targetted towards university students, the content should be suitable for most audiences.
