Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)
Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is an additive manufacturing process which is one of the most accessible and widely used form of 3D printing. In FDM, a three-dimensional object is created by selectively depositing melted material layer by layer from the bottom by heating and extruding thermoplastic Filament. The materials used are thermoplastic polymers and come in a filament form and are suitable for detailed functional prototypes, durable manufacturing tools & low-volume manufacturing parts.
