Term · Additive manufacturing and 3D printing · MLC-T-ADM-000133

A mechanism or system that supplies raw material to the build area of an additive manufacturing machine. In fused filament fabrication (FFF), it pulls filament from a spool and pushes it into the extruder. For powder bed systems, feeders typically spread a new layer of powder.
