What is 3D printing filament?
3D printing filament is a thermoplastic, or polymer, that melts when heated and is extruded through a nozzle layer by layer to create a three-dimensional object.
After the filament is extruded, it cools and becomes the surface the next layer is deposited on top of.
3D printing filament is sold in spools ranging in weight from 0.5 kg to 10 kg. It comes in two diameters; 1.75mm and 2.85mm.
The most commonly used filaments are PLA and ABS. Both have advantages for different applications.
What types of filament are there?
Below is a chart showing the more common types of filament, along with their transition temperatures, bed temperatures, and ideal printing surfaces.

FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) is the most common 3D printing technology in the world. With its help, both cheap home printers and industrial high-precision 3D printing systems grow products. The principle of building according to FDM technology lies in the layer-by-layer growth of a product from a pre-melted plastic thread.

Advantages: strong wear-resistant products, low material cost, extensive post-processing capabilities.
Alternative: MJM and PolyJet technologies, which with the help of special materials (ABS imitation) provide higher accuracy and surface quality of finished products (at a higher cost of printing).
Which is better to print: large products that must have reliable mechanical properties (strength, wear resistance, flexibility).

Alternative: MJM and PolyJet technologies, which with the help of special materials (ABS imitation) provide higher accuracy and surface quality of finished products (at a higher cost of printing).
How it works
The 3D model in STL format is transferred to the 3D printer software. The program automatically (or the operator manually) places the model in the virtual space of the working chamber.
Then the program automatically generates elements of auxiliary structures (from a special support material) and calculates the amount of consumables, as well as the prototype growing time. Before starting the printing process, the model is automatically divided into horizontal layers and the paths of the print head are calculated.
Then the direct 3D printing process starts: a heating head with dies (extruder) melts a thin plastic thread (fishing line) and lays it in layers according to the data of the mathematical 3D model.
After completion of the product building process, auxiliary structures are removed (manually or dissolved in a special solution). The finished product can be used in printed form or subjected to any post-processing method.

Building accuracy
The accuracy of building models using FDM technology largely depends on the thickness of the printed layer. This value can be from 0.127 to 1 mm. The surface of finished objects is usually slightly ribbed (stepped - within 0.1-1 mm). The ribbing is due to the fact that the molten thread has a rounded shape. To give additional smoothness to the surface, you can use post-processing.
