What is FDM Printing?

Analysis of FDM 3D Printing Technology:
A Cost-effective and Highly Flexible Manufacturing Solution

FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) is the most widely used 3D printing technology. By heating the thermoplastic materials (such as PLA, ABS, nylon, etc.) to a molten state, they are then layer-by-layer deposited by the nozzle for forming. Its core advantage lies in:
Wide range of material options: Supports engineering plastics (PC), elastomers (TPU), and composite fiber materials (carbon fiber reinforced);
Low cost and high efficiency: The prices of equipment and consumables are affordable, making them suitable for rapid prototyping and small-scale production.
High functionality: Capable of manufacturing terminal components that are resistant to high temperatures (120℃+) and have impact resistance;

Core advantages of FDM printing

Low cost and high efficiency

By using engineering plastics such as PLA and ABS, the material cost is only one third of that of traditional processing. The prototype can be completed in as fast as 4 hours.

High-performance

Supports high-strength materials such as nylon and PC, with a temperature resistance of up to 120℃, meeting industrial-grade testing requirements.

High design flexibility

Easily achieve complex cavities and lightweight structures, without the need for mold investment.

Operation is simple

This desktop-level device can be used directly without any setup, suitable for factory, laboratory, and even home environments.

The FDM Process Overview

FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) creates parts by layer-by-layer depositing molten plastic. The main process consists of three steps:

Pre-processing

3D model slicing (generating G-code)
Setting temperature (nozzle 200-280℃ / hot bed 60-120℃) and support structure

Printing process

The filament is melted by the extruder and precisely deposited through the nozzle (layer thickness ranging from 0.05 to 0.3 mm)
Industrial-grade equipment can continuously print large components (up to over 100 hours)

Post-processing

Removing supports, grinding and polishing
Function enhancement (impregnation with resin / electroplating)
