3D Printer SmartNozzle

Key component for Fusion Deposition Modelling (FDM) printers is the nozzle.

Diameter of the nozzle is a compromise between deposition rate and printing resolution. Large nozzle improves deposition rate, while high resolution requires small nozzle size.

Another critical issue is the surplus of material that keeps flowing out of the nozzle at the end of each deposition. Normally,
