What is FDM 3D printing?

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is a well-known additive manufacturing technique recognized for its rapidity, precision, and cost-effectiveness. By precisely extruding molten material, FDM machines are capable of producing parts in a remarkably short period of time, sometimes even within a single day.

We provide FDM 3D printing services that feature expansive build volumes of up to 24″ x 36″ x 36″ on Stratasys Fortes platforms. This method offers a wide array of colors and a diverse selection of production-grade thermoplastics compared to other 3D printing processes. The materials available range from standard ABS or ASA to advanced options like polycarbonate and heat-resistant ULTEM.

Surface finishes for Fused Deposition Modeling

We offer finishing services for Fused Deposition Modeling, providing a wide range of finishing options to enhance both the durability and appearance of your parts. Whether it’s for prototyping or full-scale production, our finishing solutions ensure that your parts meet the highest standards of performance and visual appeal for all needs.

Surface Finish: Blasting
Suitable Technology: SLS
Advantages:

Gives smooth texture to the surface

Makes surface paintable

Low-cost
Considerations:

Might lead to dimensional inaccuracy

Does not give a smooth finish

Surface Finish: Bead Blasting
Suitable Technology: SLS
Advantages:

Preservation of the part’s dimensions
Considerations:

Requires the use of extra materials

Surface Finish: Chemical Vapour Polishing / Vapour Smoothing
Suitable Technology: MJF, SLS
Advantages:

Shiny finish
Considerations:

Lack of versatility

Surface Finish: Media Tumbling
Suitable Technology: SLS
Advantages:

Good for small parts
Considerations:

Size limitations for large parts

Time-consuming

Surface Finish: Spray Painting
Suitable Technology: MJF
Advantages:

Cheap and rapid
Considerations:

Applies only on the surface; inner color visible if the surface is scratched

Surface Finish: Dyeing
Suitable Technology: MJF (black), SLS (black, blue, green, red, yellow)
Advantages:

Dye penetrates into the part instead of only the surface

Very durable with superior aesthetics
Considerations:

Costly compared to spray painting
