FDM Additive

How does it work?

FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) creates parts by extruding and depositing thermoplastic materials in layers. Once a layer of heated filament is extruded, the build plate lowers, and the process repeats until finished.

Advantages

  • High-strength materials with excellent mechanical & thermal properties
  • Materials with good ESD properties
  • Chemical resistant materials
  • Part size up to 36 inches
  • Flexible TPU material

Production Parts

Manufacture durable parts for low-volume & short-run applications, or high-volume complex designs.

Jigs & Fixtures

Produce lightweight, consolidated, & customized parts for tooling applications.

Functional Prototypes

Parts designed mechanically, thermally, & chemically strong for concept models, & early prototyping.

Technical Data

Layer Thickness
0.005 – 0.02 in
Accuracy/Tolerance
