A 3D printer's extrusion system is responsible for melting and depositing thermoplastic filament onto the build plate. It consists of an extruder motor, drive gears, a filament path (often including a Bowden tube), and a heated nozzle. The system operates on a precise, open-loop mechanical feed mechanism that relies on consistent resistance and thermal melting rates to achieve the intended volume of deposited material.
