Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) Printing Services

· Technology

Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) printing is an advance form of printing on thermoplastics. In this type of printing, the material is deposited layer by layer on polymer surface.

In FDM printing service tool moves in both horizontal as well as vertical direction to deposit requisite material on the surface and deliver desired product. Using computer commands, melted filaments are filled in the predesigned mould. The nozzle of machine guided by command deposits the shell thickness step by step and provides the desired shape. Once the product is formed, the supporting material can be removed easily.

Base Materials suitable for FDM 3D printing service are PLA, Nylon, PP, ABS, TPU etc. Thermoplastic have advantage of enduring heat, chemical reaction and mechanical stress and these properties make them suitable material for Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM). The specific grade of these materials has distinguished properties such as mechanical properties, temperature resistance, flexibility, strength, warping properties. The quality of final product depends on selection of base material used. The products although have specific pattern or wrapping on their surface, which is not liked property of FDM printing service.

New era of flex printing is FDM printing and its very efficient in delivering the quality products. In case of small or medium size products, FDM 3D printers delivers products the very next day, it’s very conveniently used for preparing prototypes in manufacturing industry. Mass production of small size product for any industry can be done using FDM 3D printers. However, the quality of product depends on various other parameters such as design and operation. The CNC milling services used to control the temperature of extruding temperature, its speed and X, Y and Z co-ordinates.

Projects in Heavy industries, transportation industry, manufacturing service use different type of engineering grade thermoplastic and FDM printing provided unique designing feature for such competitive market. Accuracy and mass production of small size materials gives extra advantage for use of FDM 3D printers. FDM printing service takes benefit of customisation and helpful in medical and bio industry as well.

Not only prototype but end products with intricate design are easily made using FDM 3D printers, that is why FDM printing service is widely used now a days in many businesses.
