Reference
Modeling Envelope
The actual volume of space inside FDM hardware in which physical mod-
els can be created.
Modeling Envelope Temperature Control
This is the Watlow controller labelled "Envelope." It controls the temperature of the
envelope in degrees Celsius.
Modeling Material
A plastic or wax compound that is liquefied and extruded through the modeling tip
to create a part.
Ooze
Material that extrudes from the FDM tip when it is not in use.
Operating System
A software system native to computers that supports other software and hard-
ware. Examples include Unix and Windows.
Origin
The point in the modeling envelope where the X, Y, and Z coordinates all
equal zero. This point is definable by the user by positioning the tip
before releasing the initial pause on a model. It usually is not the same
as the home position.
Pause Button
When this button is flashing, caused by an out-of-material condition or if
the torque limit is reached, it finishes building the current road and
waits for further instructions.
Controller panel.
%Flow Button
This allows the user to override the flow rate. It is located on the key-
pad directly to the left of the words "%Flow."
Perimeter Curve
The toolpath that follows the inside and outside cruve on every Z-level.
P400-ABS
This tough plastic is an acrylonitrile-butadyne-styrene based material
designed to produce sturdy prototypes useful for concept models and
for examination of an object's fit, form, and some function.
It is located on the left side of the X-Y-Z
