Use fischertechnik’s 3D printer to print creations yourself at any time – super individual, super simple and super flexible, even at home!

With this self-assembly kit users can obtain easy access to the forward-thinking and fascinating technology of 3D printing. Using detailed step-by-step assembly instructions, the printer can be constructed safely and securely and put into operation so that it can start creating pieces of various shapes and sizes.
Users will learn the basics of 3D printing and gain insight into this revolutionary technology that has great potential.
3D printing relies on so-called additive manufacturing processes. In contrast to subtractive processes (milling, turning etc.), where the object is constructed by cutting material away from a solid block, in additive manufacturing the filament is applied layer upon layer. The fischertechnik 3D printer uses the FDM process (Fused Deposition Modelling).
With this printing technique you can transform creative ideas into three dimensional objects. Molten synthetic material is pushed out of a nozzle. The individual layers are up to a quarter millimetre thick so that you can clearly see them on the finished object.  Over time, the synthetic material hardens in the air.
