Abstract
The new improvement and development of 3D printing process requires flexibility to deal with multiple filaments and reliable extrusion system to save operation cost and printing time, and increase the print quality and the printer durability. This poster presented an alternative mechanism design for handling different number of filaments with a universal extruder, the mathematical model for the extrusion system depending on the polymeric flow equations and the internal extruder's geometry, the concept of optimizing the printing parameters through the pre-movement phase for any kind of filaments, and the control model in order to get the system compatibility.
