I’m helping product engineers get machined prototype parts faster to accelerate their product launches.
I’m doing this with machining automation software that eliminates the needed for a dedicated machinist.

My personal favorite MEX extrusion approach is called FGF, or Fused Granulate Fabrication. In that approach a screw extruder is used to compress and heat pellets. These polymer pellets can be 10x cheaper than filament!

There are other approaches to MEX though. Instead of a filament you can fill a cartridge and use a plunger to extrude material out of the nozzle. This approach frequently used in bioprinting where they are extruding gels.

The 3D printing category of Material Extrusion (MEX) contains popular printers like the Prusa MK4 and the Bambu P1S that extrude filament. They are often referred to as:
FFF - Fused Filament Fabrication
FDM - Fused Deposition Modeling
We love acronyms in the 3D printing world!

I am working on bringing some automated machining software to market. I used it to produce these parts for a student’s project.
Setup for these parts all together took less than 30min using the software!

Manufacturing is making geometry. We can make geometry from material by forming, adding, or subtracting the material away.

If we add the ability to machine our part (subtractive manufacturing) we can get around this limitation.
How? We start by depositing thick layers. But now we overbuild the intended surface.
