Fused Deposition Modeling
Get different prototypes and small series thanks to the enormous variety of materials of the 3D printing technology “Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)”. As a standard process in 3D printing, FDM printing is the most widely used technology.
What is fused deposition modeling?
In fused deposition modeling (FDM), a plastic filament is heated, melted and applied in layers. This creates objects with the typical layered structure on the surface. The variety of materials and colors available for FDM printing makes this process more universal than SLS printing, for example.
