The advantages of wire deposition
Good mechanical resistance
The strength of the printed parts in wire deposition allows them to be used for assemblies
Price
PLA wire deposition allows for the production of parts at a lower cost.
Respect of geometries
No risk of deformation, the wire deposit guarantees a good respect of the geometry of the parts.
A thermoplastic
thermoplastic material
Wire deposition is a technology that allows to manufacture parts by adding material. The materials used are thermoplastic polymers.
Manufacturing
by extrusion
The machine works a bit like an extruder, bringing the material to its melting point to create a wire of about 0.05 millimeters in diameter. The nozzle moving on the x, y axes allows to deposit this hot wire on a layer. The platform descends between each sequence to stack the layers on top of each other.
Functional parts
and mock-ups
Fused deposition is used in many fields: automotive, aerospace, architecture, medical, art...
Due to its properties, it can be used to print functional parts, models and prototypes.
