FDM 3D Printing Service

3D printing, particularly through the extrusion of thermoplastic material, stands as one of the most prevalent and recognizable processes within the realm of 3D printing. Amongst enthusiasts and professionals alike, it's commonly referred to as Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM). This process functions by heating and melting plastic filament, which is then meticulously deposited layer by layer onto a designated build platform based on the 3D data provided to the printer. With each layer being carefully laid down, it solidifies and seamlessly bonds with the preceding one. Notably, for applications involving overhanging geometries, support structures are essential in FDM/FFF processes. In the domain of Rapid Prototyping, the Fused Deposition Modeling technique reigns supreme. One of the notable advantages of FDM lies in the robustness of the materials it utilizes, as well as the enduring stability of their mechanical properties. This makes it particularly suitable for crafting detailed functional prototypes, durable manufacturing tools, and parts for low-volume manufacturing. Historically, the necessity for support structures has posed a challenge, particularly in entry-level FFF 3D printers. However, advancements in technology, such as the integration of dual extrusion heads, have significantly mitigated this issue. Despite these advancements, certain part geometries may still encounter delays in the printing process, and ensuring optimal layer-to-layer adhesion remains crucial to prevent the occurrence of non-watertight parts.
