The FFF technique consists of heating a thermoplastic material slightly above its melting point inside a nozzle. We can see it, today, this technology has shown its efficiency and its robustness in the manufacturing of numerous medical equipment’s (facemasks, protective visor or incubation tools…) which participate to help fighting coronavirus pandemic. Applications range from rapid prototyping to jewelry design, from home-printed gimmicks to individualized prostheses. FFF technology has gained considerable interest lately. The latter is a cheap, accessible, highly flexible and uses stable and easily transportable precursor materials.
Among a multitude of additive processes, one of the most promising technologies for polymers is the method of Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF), also known as Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM TM).
Because of many recent developments, the Additive Manufacturing (AM) has become a mainstream in a wide range of industries: from biomedical equipment to the aerospace field.
