What is Fused deposition modeling?

Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is one of the most widely used additive manufacturing processes for fabricating prototypes and functional parts in common engineering plastics. The simplicity, reliability, and affordability of the FDM process have made the additive manufacturing technology widely recognized and adopted by industry, academia, and consumers.

Many businesses use FDM 3D printing service as it allows the creation of detailed and intricate objects. Therefore, engineers are using it to allow them to test parts for fit and form. It is a technology that is now assisting the creation of small parts and specialized tools that would once take a lot longer to produce.

How does FDM 3D printing work?

The process uses a digital design that is uploaded to the 3D printer. There are a lot of different polymers used, such as ABS, PETG, PA+CF, PEI, PPSF, and PEEK.

These take the shape of plastic threads that are fed from a coil and through a nozzle. The filaments are melted and fed onto the base, known as a build platform, both of the plate ad nozzle which are controlled by a computer. The computer works by translating the object and its dimension into co-ordinates that make it possible for the nozzle and base to follow.
