FUSED DEPOSITION MODELING (FDM)
FAST AFFORDABLE PROTOTYPE AND PART
LARGE SIZES- TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Fused Deposition Modelling technology is one of our areas of expertise and we manufacture in two sizes:
| Minimum wall thickness | 0,5 – 1 mm |
| Minimum detail to be reproduced | 0.3 mm |
| Accuracy | 0.1% (min +/- 0,2) |
| Maximum part size | 400 * 400 * 400 mm |
| Layer thickness | 0,020-0,080 mm |
MATERIALS
FDM works by extruding heated thermoplastica material layer-by-layer onto a build tray.

FDM PROCESS
Layer by layer deposition of fused thermoplastic materials. The best technology for the production of final parts and industrial prototyping.
1
Validation
Together with the customer, the technical team verifies the manufacturability of the part in order to subsequently validate it.
2
Production
Machinery and staff work together for an optimal production.
3
Post-processing
The removal of the support material, which can break or dissolve, is a fundamental step in FDM technology.
4
Dimensional control
The part is measured at the end of the process, ensuring that the final result meets the customer’s specifications.
