How Does It Work?

FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) is the most widely used 3D printing method in the world and for good reason. It’s affordable, reliable, and perfect for functional parts and prototypes.

How FDM 3D Printing Works

FDM printers melt thermoplastic filament (such as PLA or PETG) and lay it down layer by layer to form a solid object. Each layer bonds with the one below it, creating strong and dimensionally accurate parts.

Why Choose FDM?

• Cost-effective for prototypes and short runs
• Wide range of materials for different applications
• Fast turnaround and simple post-processing

Use Cases

FDM is great for enclosures, brackets, tools, fixtures, and concept models. It’s also the ideal starting point for prototyping your invention before moving to production.
