Fused Deposition Modeling

Description

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is a solid-based rapid prototyping method that extrudes material, layer-by-layer, to build a model. The key advantage FDM is that it is ideal for Conceptual Models, Engineering Models, and Functional Testing Prototypes.
 

• FDM parts are strong and rigid makes them suitable for functional testing
• Cost effective solution for small to medium size parts in shortest lead time
• Dimensional stability is a key advantage of FDM prototypes.
• Environmental exposure do not alter the size of the part or its features.
• ABS prototypes demonstrate *0% of the strength of injection molded ABS which make them very suitable for functional testing and can be directly used as finished production parts for certain applications.
• Ideal for strong parts exposed to temperature, water and many chemicals.
• High level of finish can be achieved by sanding and other post processing techniques.
• ABS parts can be further machined, polished or electroplated.
