Fused Deposition Modeling

Fused Deposition Modeling – FDM Printing

Fused Deposition Modeling – FDM Printing – Technology Overview Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is a widely adopted 3D printing technology that utilizes thermoplastic filaments with diameters of 1.75 mm and 3.0 mm to create parts. The FDM 3D printing process encompasses the following steps: 1. Printing Process FDM operates by melting and extruding thermoplastic filaments

Tolerances in 3D printing

Tolerances in 3D printing

Tolerances in 3D printing Tolerances in 3D printing technologies indicates how accurately an object created using these technologies aligns with the specified dimensions. Tolerances can vary depending on the specific technology, material, equipment, and other factors. Typically, size tolerances for SLA, FDM, and MJF 3D printing technologies are as follows: SLA (Stereolithography): Linear Tolerance: Typically
