Fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing service
Scroll for more
Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), also known as Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF), is the most common type of 3D printing. FDM has short lead times, a relatively low cost per part, and can produce larger parts than many other additive polymer technologies. With a variety of material choices and finishing options, our FDM 3D printing service is ideal for creating everything from quick prototypes to the final product. Our in-house FDM technologies include the Fortus 450mc and the Stratasys F900.
