Extrusion Path The extrusion path is the specific route the printer’s nozzle follows to lay down material during a print. This path is generated by slicing software based on the 3D model and includes details such as the infill pattern, outer shell, and supports. The precision of the extrusion path directly affects print quality, surface finish, and strength. Optimizing the extrusion path involves adjusting parameters like print speed, infill density, and travel moves to reduce print time and defects. Advanced slicing algorithms and printers with precise motion systems ensure smooth and accurate extrusion paths, resulting in better final prints. |
