Measurement, characterisation and influence of the air temperature above the build plate in fused filament fabrication

Heated build plates are common yet essential components in many additive manufacturing (AM) machines. However, their influence on the air temperature above and the subsequent impact on the AM process are barely discussed. This article proposes a simple model for the air temperature above the plate T...
