What is Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)?

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), also known as Fused Filament Fabrication, is an advanced 3D printing technique. It produces prototypes by precisely melting and depositing material layer by layer, resulting in intricate three-dimensional structures. Widely favored for its cost-effectiveness, FDM is a go-to option for realizing designs with remarkable accuracy.

Derived from renewable sources such as cornstarch or sugarcane, PLA is a fully biodegradable thermoplastic.
Its versatility and eco-friendliness make it an excellent choice for a wide range of applications, from prototypes to functional parts.

ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)

Known for its strength, toughness, and heat resistance, ABS filament is a preferred option for engineering prototypes and functional parts. Its impact strength makes it a reliable choice for various applications.

PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol)

With outstanding chemical and thermal resistance, PETG is a high-strength, clear thermoplastic material. It is particularly suitable for projects that demand both durability and clarity.

ASA (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate)

ASA offers superior UV stability, making it an ideal choice for projects that will be exposed to sunlight. Its post-processing capabilities, chemical resistance, and durability further enhance its suitability for various applications.

TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane)

TPU is a flexible filament that mimics rubber-like elasticity. Its high elasticity and resilience make it perfect for projects requiring impact resistance and dynamic properties.

TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer)

Combining the flexibility of rubber with the processing ease of plastic, TPE offers a versatile solution for projects that demand a balance between flexibility and structural integrity.
