FDM 3D Printing
FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) is a 3D printing process in which plastic is melted and extruded through a small nozzle to build up a model layer by layer.
Also known as FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication) this process creates prototypes that can endure the most extreme environments:
-
Continuous Use Temperature (CUT) of up to 275°C,
-
Exposure to all chemicals except sulphuric acids, mechanical stress.
Comparable only with composites and desirable FST (flame, smoke and toxicity) rating.
We recommend it for products in oil/gas, automotive, aerospace, industrial, medical and chemical processing industries. It’s best for parts that feature fairly solid structures.
