FDM
Fused deposition modeling

FDM is a filament-based technology in which a temperature-controlled head deposits a layer of thermoplastic material onto a build platform. If necessary, a support structure is created from a water-soluble material.

Technology

With filament 3D printing (FDM/FFF), the starting material is heated through a nozzle and the melted material is applied layer by layer. If necessary, a support structure is created from a water-soluble material. Very high stability is achieved through the production process.

Advantages

FDM printing is characterized by a variety of strengths:

low material price
fast production
wide range of technical thermoplastics
high stability

Applications

Complex functional parts in small quantities
Prototypes for suitability and function tests
High precision
Durable components with high stability
Powerful Materials Short lead times
Precise components for demanding tests and harsh environments
