Abstract
Additive manufacturing technology also known as 3D printing has been entering our lives for several years and they are becoming more common. This trend concerns practically all branches of industry. 3D printers turn digital computer files into physical objects in a very fast time and, above all, very cheap way compared to traditional production methods.This process is increasingly used for mass customization, production of any open source projects made available on the web. With the release of this technology, more and more people are interested in 3D printers and the related industry. Many of these people are simply amateurs or fans with no engineering experience. Therefore, they encounter problems that will be shown in this presentation. The most common of them will be categorized and the way to deal with them will be discussed so that the final product is of the best quality and free of errors as much as possible. We all, including engineers, are constantly learning new technologies, so it is important to know and analyze all possible causes that affect the course of the FDM process. Quick implementation of your own ideas and creation of real products with the use of technology available at any point in the world is one of the components of the broadly understood Industry 4.0 Continuous discoveries and improvements in 3D printing machines, materials, and programs create new problems. Solutions are already presented on specialized forums, groups, in scientific publications and even in mobile applications. A wide and generally available exchange of knowledge and experience in this area will contribute to increasing the popularity and advantages of this method of production.
