Filament 3D Printers
Melt and extrude plastic filaments to build quick and inexpensive prototypes, custom and complex parts, and manufacturing aids such as jigs and fixtures. These 3D printers are also known as fused filament fabrication (FFF) and fused deposition modeling (FDM) printers. They meet U.S. and international standards for safety. Product regulations restrict sales to the listed jurisdictions/areas.
These printers use PLA, which is good for creating prototypes. PLA prints at a low temperature, so it rarely clogs extruders. Because it’s so low maintenance, it’s the most common material for 3D printing. MakerBot printers are compatible only with MakerBot-brand filaments.
These printers have a camera that connects to the internet, so you can stream live video of the printing process to monitor it remotely. They have heated printer beds to prevent parts from warping during cooling.
