Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)
FDM 3D printing, also known as Fused Deposition Modelling or FFF, is a popular and affordable 3D printing process. It works by melting a plastic filament and layering it to create a three-dimensional object. FDM printers are versatile and can use a wide range of materials. They are commonly used in industries such as product design, engineering and manufacturing to create prototypes and functional parts with complex shapes. FDM 3D printing is known for its ease of use and ability to produce detailed objects quickly and cost-effectively.-
Materials available for FDM 3D printing:
ABS material
Excellent tensile strength, impact strength, one meter size one-piece molding. Suitable for concept models, functional prototypes, manufacturing tools and end-use parts
ASA Materials
It has better mechanical properties than ABS, has good strength and toughness, is UV-resistant, sun-proof, and aging-resistant, and is suitable for making parts for outdoor use.
Nylon 12 CF
Nylon 12 adds 35% carbon fiber, which is as strong as metal, strong wear resistance, high strength and hardness, anti-static, anti-fall and corrosion resistance, excellent strength/mass ratio composite material
PLA Materials
Offers good tensile strength and stiffness, suitable for rapid proof of concept and design validation, made from renewable resources, available in a variety of colors.
