Extrusion multiplier
Term · Additive manufacturing and 3D printing · MLC-T-ADM-000127
A calibration setting in 3D printing software that adjusts the amount of material extruded by the print head. It is expressed as a decimal value, typically ranging from 0.9 to 1.1, and directly scales the volumetric flow rate of the filament. This value compensates for discrepancies between the printer's assumed material output and the actual output, affecting print quality and dimensional accuracy.
