The FDM process is additive which extrudes material in layers. A plastic filament is melted and extruded through a heated nozzle. The nozzle moves to produce a profile of the part then moves down and the next layer is built on top until the entire prototype model is fully built. The model is complete and requires no hardening. FDM is an excellent choice for any 3D Model that needs to closley represent the final product in strength and durability. CAD Models can be produced in about 24 hours depending on the size and complexity. Online price quotes are availble for FDM parts

FDM has been the Rapid Prototype technology of choice since 2002 because of its ease of use and high strength 3D CAD models and the flexibility of Plastic Prototypes such as drilling, sanding and even chrome plating. FDM prototypes have become the preferred choice among designers, engineers, researchers, students and many other areas that use rapid prototyping. Fused Deposition Modeling is the most economical method to produce plastic prototypes and ABS models.

FDM Parts have a long life cycle because the material produces CAD Models that are dimensionally stable. They can be used in water, and are chemical resistant as well as providing 3d Models made of production grade ABS plastic.
