FDM technology is the process of making physical objects by fabricating up consecutive layers of material. A thermoplastic filament is pushed through an extruder and deposited where required in each layer to complete the desired object. At its core is an additive manufacturing (AM) system or process opposite of traditional manufacturing which is subtractive, involving cutting away at a block of material to produce an object. 3D printing with FDM technology is clean, easy to use, and office friendly. Thanks to product grade materials that are mechanically and environmentally stable. They include numerous of the same tried- and- tested thermoplastics used in traditional manufacturing processes like injection molding. With Stratasys FDM technology, making complex shapes and parts with internal cavities becomes possible. For operations that demand precise tolerances, durability, and stability in different climates, FDM thermoplastics deliver the required properties.
