Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) Prototype

FDM is a technology that produces superior rapid prototypes. The FDM system can build just about any geometry you have in mind.

FDM is perfect if you need rapid production of small quantities of parts for testing. The great advantage of this technique is the durability of the material used, high accuracy the stability of the mechanical properties over time and the quality of the functional parts.

  • FDM scale model

Applications

  • Form and fit testing
  • Final production parts in certain industries
  • Finished and painted for high-quality presentation models
  • Installed and run for the best possible proof that your design works

Materials

  • ABS
  • Polycarbonates

Properties

  • Heat resistance
  • Strength
  • Rigidity
  • Stability
  • Can be hand finished for painting

Process

  • FDM works on an additive principle by laying down material in layers
  • FDM printers use a thermoplastic filament, heated to melting point and extruded and deposited layer by layer to create a 3D object

Advantages

  • Closely represents the strength, flexibility, and durability of the final product
  • Can withstand tough functional testing
  • FDM prototyping can achieve nearly any geometry
  • Highly accurate
