Glossary of 3D Printing Terms

Build Plate In 3D printing, the build plate (also called the print bed) is the flat surface on which the 3D model is printed. It serves as the foundation for the printing process, supporting the model during extrusion and curing. Build plates can be heated or non-heated, depending on the printer and material being used. Heated build plates are particularly effective at improving adhesion for materials like ABS and PETG, as they reduce warping by maintaining a consistent temperature. Build plates are typically made of glass, aluminum, or other specialized surfaces, and may have coatings or adhesives applied to enhance grip. Proper leveling and cleaning of the build plate are essential to achieve high-quality prints. |
