Overview of FDM 3D Printing
What is FDM 3DPrinting?
FDM 3D printing refers to Process Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM). FDM materials are generally thermoplastic materials, such as wax, ABS, nylon, and so on. The material is heated and melted in the nozzle, and the nozzle moves along the contour of the part and the filling track while extruding the molten material. The final material quickly solidifies and condenses with surrounding materials.
How does FDM work?
The FDM fabrication process works by first loading a spool of thermoplastic filament into the FDM machine. Once the nozzle has reached the desired temperature, the filament is fed into the extrusion head and nozzle, where it melts.
The extrusion head is attached to a three-axis system that allows it to move in the x-, y- and z- directions. The melted material is extruded in thin strands and deposited layer by layer in predetermined locations, where it cools and solidifies. Fans can be attached to the extrusion head to accelerate the cooling.
To fill an area, multiple passes are required, similar to coloring in a rectangle with a marker. When a layer is finished, the build platform moves down (or in some machine setups, the extrusion head moves up) and a new layer is deposited. This process is repeated until the part is complete.
Advantages of FDM 3D Printing
| Advantages | Considerations |
| Large platform: You can use this technology to print various types of parts | Needs support elements, which can leave undesired marks after removing them |
| A very wide selection of materials and colors: over 40 | Sweats small details |
| Usually do not require any post-processing | But FDM 3D printed parts can be polished, polished, and metal electroplated again. |
| Fast: JTR Machine can deliver them in just 1 day | Limited scalability |
| Cheap: For non-complex geometries, this option may be 10% to 15% cheaper than SLS. | Significant layer stepping |
