Filaments
In 3D printing, filaments are the thermoplastic materials used as the “ink” for Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) printers. They are long, thin strands of plastic—usually 1.75 mm or 2.85 mm in diameter—wound on a spool. The printer melts the filament and extrudes it through a nozzle to build up a 3D object layer by layer.
