La méthode la plus simple, utilisée par la plupart des imprimantes 3D personnelles [...], est celle du dépôt de filament fondu. Elle consiste à faire passer un filament de plastique – de l'ABS (acrylonitrile butadiène styrène) ou du PLA (acide polylactique) – dans une tête d'extrusion chauffante. La tête se déplace ensuite horizontalement et dessine l'objet désiré sur le lit d'impression. Un déplacement vertical permet de passer à la seconde couche de l'objet, et ainsi de suite jusqu'à sa fabrication complète. 6, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9p%C3%B4t%20de%20fil%20fondu

... material extrusion(which includes a number of different types of processes such as fused deposition modeling) is the most common process used in desktop 3D printers. Material extrusion works like a glue gun. The printing material – typically a plastic filament – is heated until it liquefies and extruded through the print nozzle. Using information from the digital file... the nozzle deposits the polymer in thin layers, often 0. 1 millimeter thick. The polymer solidifies quickly, bonding to the layer below before the build platform lowers and the print head adds another layer. 2, record 2, English, - material%20extrusion
