FDM – Fused Deposition Modeling

WIDE SELECTION OF MATERIALS. FUNCTIONAL PARTS. SMALL SERIES.

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) enables fast, cost-effective, and flexible production of plastic parts, making it an ideal technology for manufacturing functional prototypes and small batches.

MAIN ADVANTAGES:

• Fully functional parts – good mechanical strength and chemical resistance
• Production of complex geometries with minimal waste material
• Wide selection of materials – from basic to high-performance technical polymers
• Good thermal and chemical resistance, depending on the material used
• Post-processing options – machining, gluing, painting, coating
• Low production costs compared to other 3D technologies

APPLICATIONS:
FDM technology allows for the production of plastic parts directly from a 3D CAD model.

It is used for:

• Functional prototypes – testing mechanics, durability, and fit
• Pre-series and small batch production – low costs and fast design iteration
• Educational and research purposes – easy printing of customized models
• Preparation of tools, molds, and jigs for industrial manufacturing

Since the production process is based directly on a 3D model, there is no need for expensive tooling, enabling rapid design iteration and model adjustment without higher costs.

ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY:

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is a process in which thermoplastic material is deposited layer by layer. The 3D printer heats the plastic filament and extrudes it precisely onto the build plate. Each layer solidifies and supports the next one until the entire model is printed.

Materials are available with a wide range of properties – from flexible TPU to high-strength PEEK and carbon composites.
Support materials enable the printing of overhangs and complex shapes.
Post-processing includes mechanical sanding, annealing, and painting to improve aesthetics and functionality.

Due to its ease of use and excellent price-performance ratio, FDM is the most widespread 3D printing technology on the market.
