Chapter 1: 3D Printing Technology 3D printing refers to transforming three-dimensional models into physical objects that you can hold and touch. It is also called additive manufacturing because the 3D model is created by “adding” layers upon layers of material until the object is fully formed. Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) is the most common method of 3D printing. It is also the method that the InventorⅡ uses. It works by melting plastic material called filament onto a print surface in high temperature. The filament solidifies after it cools down, which happens instantaneously after it is...

•From the Cloud The most popular way of obtaining a 3D model is to download it from websites that allow users to upload 3D models that they designed. E.g. : www.thingiverse.com 1.1.2 Slice and Export the 3D Model: Slice software is the software that prepares 3D models for printing and turns them into instructions for the 3D printers. FlashPrint is the slicing software used for the FlashForge Inventorll. Using FlashPrint, you can turn .stl files into .g or .gx files for printing. Then the files can be transferred to your Inventorll via USB cable, USB stick or Wi-Fi. 1.1.3 Build the 3D Model: Once...
