FDM 3D Printing Service

Category: Technology

Used deposition modeling, or FDM for short, is a material extrusion method of additive manufacturing where materials are extruded through a nozzle and joined together to create 3D objects. In particular, the “standard” FDM process distinguishes itself from other material extrusion techniques, such as concrete and food 3D printing, by using thermoplastics as feedstock materials, usually in the forms of filaments or pellets. A typical FDM 3D printer, therefore, takes a polymer-based filament and forces it through a heated nozzle, which melts the material and deposits it in 2D layers on the build platform. While still warm, these layers fuse with each other to eventually create a three-dimensional part.
