Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) |
|
The FDM process builds the prototype or model by extruding heated materials in a programmed pattern onto a base platform. Being an additive process, FDM allows three dimensional planes to take shape as the model is built. After the first layer is complete, the machine’s platform lowers to the next programmed plane and the process continues until all layers have been added. The FDM machine accepts computer generated files and medical CT scans to produce finished prototypes and models in a fraction of time used by other methods. Models are built in ABS plastic, producing durable, functional parts in a production type material.
