DESCRIPTION:*Ultimaker and the development of fused filament fabrication 3
 D printing*\n\nFused filament fabrication (FFF) is a 3D printing process t
 hat uses a continuous filament of a thermoplastic material fed from a coil
  through a moving\, heated printer extruder head. Molten material is extru
 ded from the print head's nozzle and deposited to build up the workpiece i
 n layers.\n\nDaniel Abram will give a brief history of fused filament fabr
 ication 3D printing\, and how open source licensing helped to develop 3D p
 rinters as rapid prototyping machines. He will talk about the origins of U
 ltimaker and their machines\, the development of 3D printing beyond protot
 ypes\, and the current and future applications of FFF 3D printing.\n\nDani
 el will demonstrate Ultimaker 3D printing machines and show samples of the
  parts that can be made.\n\n*Date*: Tuesday 28 February 2017\n\n*Time*: Re
 freshments from 18:30. Lecture at 19:00. Ends around 20:30\n\n*Venue*: Ins
 titute for Manufacturing\, Cambridge University\, Alan Reece Building\, 17
