Experience precision and reliability with our 3D Printing FDM service.Ideal for rapid prototyping and functional parts, we offer high-quality prints with various materials at competitive prices.
The FDM process involvesc reating a 3D model in CAD, slicing it into layers, and using an extruder to deposit heated thermoplastic filament layer by layer. The object is built up on the platform as each layer cools and solidifies.
A variety of thermoplastic materials can be used in FDM, each offering different properties:
(Polylactic Acid): Biodegradable, easy to print, and versatile—ideal for general and concept models.
(Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene): Durable, impact-resistant, and easy to post-process—ideal forfunctional prototypes.
Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol: Combines ABS strength with PLA ease, ideal for mechanical parts
Nylon: Strong, flexible, and wear-resistant—ideal for functional parts and moving components.
FDM technology is versatile and applicable in numerous scenarios:
Prototyping: Quickly produce prototype models to test form, fit, and function.
Tooling: Create custom jigs, fixtures, and tools.
End-Use Parts: Manufacture low-volume, custom parts and components.
Cost-Effective: Lower material and production costs compared to other 3D printing technologies.
Versatile: Capable of producing complex geometries and a variety of material properties.
Strong Parts: Produces durable and functional parts.
Layer Lines: Parts may show visible layer lines which can be smoothed post-processing.
Material Limitations: Not all materials suit FDM, especially high-temperature or metal-infused filaments
Speed: While suitable for many applications, FDM can be slower than other methods for large or intricate parts.
3D Printing FDM is an accessible and effective method for creating prototypes and end-use parts. It provides a balance between performance, cost, and material versatility, making it ideal for various applications from concept models to functional components.
Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is a 3D printing process that uses a continuous filament of thermoplastic material. It is ideal for creating durable parts with complex geometries.
Common materials include PLA, ABS, PETG, and more. Each material has its own unique properties suitable for different applications.
The maximum size depends on the specific 3D printer used, but typical dimensions range from 200mm x 200mm x 200mm to 500mm x 500mm x 500mm.
FDM is cost-effective, has a wide range of material options, and is suitable for both prototyping and end-use parts.
FDM is ideal for creating functional prototypes, end-use parts, and custom tools.
