| Erosion Erosion in 3D printing refers to the gradual wear and tear of components such as the nozzle, extruder gears, or even printed objects due to repeated use or abrasive materials. For example, printing with composite filaments containing carbon fiber, wood, or metal particles can accelerate nozzle erosion, leading to poor extrusion quality and reduced accuracy over time. To combat erosion, many manufacturers produce hardened steel or ruby-tipped nozzles designed to withstand abrasive filaments. Erosion can also affect the build platform if prints are frequently removed using sharp tools. Regular maintenance, proper material selection, and using wear-resistant components are essential for minimizing erosion and prolonging the lifespan of both the printer and printed objects. |
