Design Guides
Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) systems and related technologies are the most accessible and widely used form of 3D printing. FDM machines build parts layer-by-layer from the bottom up by heating and extruding thermoplastic filament. The production-grade thermoplastic material used is suitable for detailed functional prototypes, durable manufacturing tools & low-volume manufacturing parts.
Different industries require different solutions to maximize the efficiency of their objective. FDM 3D printing technology builds durable and functional prototypes that can withstand rigorous testing.
