Abstract
A feeding apparatus for forming 3D object includes a frame structure, a transmission set, an actuator, a swing unit and a controller having a sensor. The feeding apparatus is arranged on a 3D printer equipped with printing mechanism and a filament spool. When the filament is fed into a passageway of the frame structure to push the swing unit, the sensor senses the displacement of swing unit to generate a sensing signal. The controller controls the actuator to drive the transmission set according to the sensing signal, whereby the wire can be smoothly fed into the printing mechanism.
