Material extrusion (ME) type 3D printing has been widely utilized through various types of systems depending on the fabrication methods, materials, and precision to fabricate complex workpieces that cannot be made with conventional methods. This study provides basic considerations in response to the current demands on performance evaluation of ME type 3D printing related to dimensions as well as the realization of the guidelines to be established in the near future. As a simple specimen for these purposes, 2D and 3D hole-plates were designed and fabricated by using a ME type entry-level 3D printer. For evaluation of dimensions on the specimen, both specimens were measured by a calibrated tool-maker’s microscope which is to length standard. The measurement parameters were the center position of the holes, the diameter of the holes, and the circularity error of the holes.
