The technology is widely used for robust prototypes, functional parts and cost-effective production at short lead times.<\/p>\n<p>By building parts layer by layer with molten filament, FDM can provide structurally sound components with reproducible geometry. It is suitable for both simple and more technically complex geometries, depending on the choice of materials and settings.<\/p>\n         <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.amprintservice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/amprintservice-obj-10.webp\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><h3>High material strength<\/h3>      \n         <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.amprintservice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/amprintservice-obj-6.webp\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><h3>Versatile<\/h3>      \n         <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.amprintservice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/amprintservice-obj-2.webp\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><h3>Rapid prototyping<\/h3>      \n         <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.amprintservice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/amprintservice-obj-3.webp\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><h3>Chemical resistance<\/h3>      \n<h3>\n\t\t\tWhat is FDM printing?\t<\/h3>\n\t<p>FDM is a layer-based method where a heated filament is fed through a nozzle and shaped according to a digital model. The controlled deposition of the material provides a solid structure and the process is characterised by high availability and flexibility in material selection.<\/p>\n<p>The method can handle both simple and technically more complex geometries. It is often used when the objective is to produce parts to be tested, assembled or integrated into mechanical systems.

The filament is heated to a defined temperature and fed through a nozzle that follows the layer orientation of the model. Each layer is laid on top of the previous one and cooled in a controlled manner. This creates a component whose structure and geometry are based on the chosen settings.<\/p>\n<p>After printing, support structures are removed when used. The component can then be processed by grinding, drilling or surface modification depending on requirements.<\/p>\n<h3>\n\t\t\tFDM compared to MJF, SLS and SLA \t<\/h3>\n\t<ul>\n<li>MJF provides a higher surface roughness and more isotropic structure. This is used when the requirements for precision and material properties are more advanced.<\/li>\n<li>SLS offers good dimensional stability and advanced geometrical freedom. The technology is relevant when internal channels, complex structures or specific nylon polymers are needed.<\/li>\n<li>SLA provides a very smooth surface and is often used for visual modelling or small tolerance parts that should not be subjected to major mechanical stress.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>\n\t\t\tMaterials for FDM printing\t<\/h3>\n<h4>\n\t\t\tPLA \t<\/h4>\n\t<p>A thermoplastic material with good dimensional stability. Used for prototypes, enclosures and models that are not exposed to high thermal stress.<\/p>\n<h4>\n\t\t\tPETG \t<\/h4>\n\t<p>A tough material that combines chemical resistance and flexibility.
