FDM Features

Standard Thermoplastics

Parts are printed using standard thermoplastics, such as ABS and polycarbonate, allowing you to use the same material for your prototype as the final part.

Extremely Durable

Materials are some of the most durable available in additive manufacturing, making FDM ideal for function testing and end-use applications.

Heat Resistant

FDM materials, particularly Ultem and PPSF, are heat resistant, making them ideal for 3D printed tooling and fixtures.

FDM Applications

Functional Parts

FDM is great for end-use parts as well as testing the functionality of designs that will eventually be injection molded.

Jigs & Fixtures

FDM is great for low-volume production of end-use parts, such as manufacturing aids and units for field testing.

Thermoform Tooling

Thanks to its high-heat resistance, we regularly use FDM to create molds for low-volume thermoforming.

FDM Materials

ABS-M30

General-purpose ABS material suitable for function testing and end-use parts.

Polycarbonate

Widely used material more durable than most ABS plastics.

Nylon 12

Fatigue-resistant material ideal for snap fit and press fit applications.

ABS-ESD7

Electrostatic-dissipative material for use when static charge may impair performance.

PPSF

Heat and chemical-resistant material ideal for automotive and aerospace applications.

PC-ABS

High strength, heat-resistant thermoplastic widely used in the manufacturing industry.

ULTEM 9085

Durable, heat-resistant material suited to the most demanding applications.

How FDM Works

FDM 3D printers use a spool of plastic filament which is fed into the print head. The print head melts and extrudes the filament as it traces the toolpath for each layer.

FDM Design Guide

There are a number of factors to bear in mind when designing parts to be 3D printed with FDM. Fortunately, we’ve written an in-depth design guide to help.
