Material extrusion-based additive manufacturing (MEBAM) is a process of making three-dimensional objects by depositing material through a nozzle. This technology is a subset of additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing. MEBAM operates by extruding a filament of thermoplastic material, which is then deposited layer by layer to build up the desired object. The material is typically fed from a spool into the extruder, where it is heated to a molten state and then forced through the nozzle. As the nozzle moves, it deposits the material in a precise pattern, creating the object's cross-sectional shape. Once a layer is complete, the build platform lowers slightly, and the process repeats for the next layer. This layer-by-layer approach allows for the creation of complex geometries that would be difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional manufacturing methods. MEBAM is widely used in prototyping, manufacturing, and even in some end-use applications due to its relatively low cost, ease of use, and the variety of materials available. However, it also has limitations, such as lower strength and accuracy compared to other additive manufacturing techniques.
