Introduction

• 3D Printing technology has taken the world by
  storm, particularly, the printing sector. Year
  after year, the sector is witnessing innovations
  and new developments and coming up with a variety
  of 3D processes. One of the additive
  manufacturing processes is Fused Deposition
  Modelling or FDM 3D Printing. This process is a
  part of material extrusion family wherein melted
  material is selectively deposited layer by layer
  to create an object. Thermoplastic polymers are
  used for this purpose which is available in a
  filament form. This 3D printing technology is
  being extensively used in many applications.
  Here, we bring you some of its characteristics,
  functionalities, and advantages that can help a
  designer immensely.

Let us begin with the characteristics of FDM

• Printer Parameters
• Several process parameters can be adjusted in a
  majority of FDM Systems which includes the
  temperature of the build platform and the nozzle,
  the layer height, the build speed and cooling fan
  speed. An operator can easily adjust these
  settings as per requirements.
• It is important to understand that from the
  perspective of a designer, the two factors that
  hold optimal significance are layer height and
  build size.

• Build Size
• In a desktop 3D printer, the build size that is
  available is 200x200x200 mm while it can be up to
  1000x1000x1000 mm in industrial machines. In
  case, a desktop machine is being considered due
  to cost concerns a big size model can be broken
  into smaller parts and then assembled.

• Layer Height
• As far as layer height is concerned, it is
  between 50 and 400 microns in FDM and while
  placing an order, the same can be determined. If
  a designer is looking for smoother parts and
  accurate curved geometries, a smaller layer
  height proves to be an apt choice. Conversely,
  when going for a larger height, the parts not
  only get processed at a fast rate but the cost of
  the same is also reduced. The most commonly used
  height is 200 micron.

• FDM Materials most commonly used
• One of the major advantages of using FDM
  technology is the broad range of materials
  available for use. Right from ABS and PLA
  (thermoplastics) to TPU, PA and PETG (engineering
  materials) and PEI and PEEK (performance
  thermoplastics, great variety of materials are
  available. Depending on precise requirements, a
  suitable material can be chosen for the best
  results.

Benefits of FDM

• The major advantages of FDM that makes it perfect
  for use are-
• With growing use of 3D Printing in India, it is
  imperative to find out more about the different
  techniques used in 3D Printing technology. The
  benefits of FDM makes it a preferred choice.
• A Cost-effective technique that helps in
  producing high-accuracy prototypes and custom
  thermoplastic parts.
• FDM lead times are short as the technology is
  widely available.
• Easy availability of an extensive range of
  thermoplastic materials.
• Materials are perfectly suitable for
  non-commercial functional applications and
  prototyping.

As a result, many industrial sectors and
designers prefer using FDM 3D Printing technology
and derive optimal benefits from the same. Look
for a reputed company and get the best 3D
printing project services.
