The gear pump extruder is a reimagined FDM hotend with an embedded gear pump to reduce printing forces and increase printing speeds.  The project was funded by the Jacobs Institue Innovation Catalysts grant program during the Fall '19 and Spring '20 semesters. A functional physical prototype was fabricated during the Fall '19 semester. While an updated prototype was on track to be completed for the Spring '20 semester, the campus response to COVID-19 resulted in a pivot of the project - an animation of the functionality of the device, below, was made in place of a prototype.
