2 DESCRIPTION OF THE PRINTER
The device described in this manual is a 3D printer suitable for 3D printing with the use of thermoplastic pellets.
The printer consists of an heated extruder mounted on a Delta-robot structure, a buildplate and a tank for the
material.
The material is loaded from the tank with compressed air, molten and pushed to the heated nozzle where it’s
extruded through a nozzle that lays very small amounts of material starting from the build plate. The material is
deposited by the toolhead layer after layer.
The toolpaths are defined by the file produced with the use of a slicing software.
It’s possible, in this way, to create any shape and kind of object within the limits of this technology.
