How Does FDM 3D Printing Work?

What is FDM 3D printing and how does it actually work? In this video, we break down the fundamentals of Fused Deposition Modeling (also known as FFF) for beginners. We cover the mechanical process of how a 3D printer transforms plastic filament into a physical object.
