50 50  == About Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) ==
51 51  
52 52  The [[FFF process>>url:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fused_filament_fabrication]] (also called FDM, a proprietary name) uses a heated nozzle and motorized extruder to melt plastic filament into a thick liquid, and uses that liquid to draw a thin cross-section of a 3D model onto a heated plate. After drawing the outline of the cross-section, it fills in the shape with the liquid plastic. The temperature of the nozzle is set just above the melting temperature of the material, so that the material solidifies within a few seconds after it leaves the nozzle. Once the whole layer has been drawn, the tool head moves upward a small amount to draw the next layer, and continues building up layers until the part is complete.

96 96  After you begin your print, notify an RPS employee that you are printing with your own filament, and they will go into the system and manually give you a 50% discount. If you are reserving a time slot and you do not have enough credits to reserve normally but you do with the BYOF discount, email us at [[meen3dprinting@tamu.edu>>mailto:meen3dprinting@tamu.edu]].
