APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND METHOD OF CHARACTERIZING FILAMENT PROPERTIES AND ADJUSTING 3D PRINTER PARAMETERS FOR DECREASED FILAMENT DEPOSITION VARIABILITY

Abstract:

An apparatus, a system, and a method for improvements in fused filament fabrication (FFF). Characteristics of a filament may be measured during production of the filament and the characteristics stored in a memory for retrieval by a 3D printer. The 3D printer adjusts print settings as necessary based on the measured characteristics, thereby resulting in better print quality.
