FDM’s additive nature and soluble support material simplify the creation of parts with complex geometries and internal cavities. FDM technology is clean and office-friendly, thanks to production grade materials that are mechanically and environmentally stable. FDM thermoplastics also deliver the necessary properties for applications that demand precise tolerances, durability, and stability in different environments. They include many of the same thermoplastics used in traditional manufacturing processes like injection molding.
Stratasys FDM technology offers valuable efficiencies over conventional manufacturing methods, letting you cut production costs while benefitting from shorter lead times for quicker market entry. FDM’s broad material portfolio addresses a wide spectrum of applications, from functional prototyping to end-use parts.
FDM technology is trusted for its precision, reliability and repeatability. With printers that are at home in an office, to industrial-grade platforms for the factory floor, it is one of the easiest 3D printing technologies to learn and operate. Material diversity opens your application space with capabilities bridging engineering-grade plastics to high-performance polymers.
The versatility, ease of use and sizeable material selection of FDM technology makes it a go-to resource for all major industries that need time and cost-efficient alternatives to traditional manufacturing.
The combination of capable printers, durable materials and proven reliability makes FDM technology the perfect fit for many different applications.
FDM printers cross the spectrum from small but capable office-friendly systems to large-capacity industrial printers.
A significant advantage of FDM technology is the quantity of available materials. They include durable engineering-grade thermoplastics for high-use, general purpose printing, strong carbon fiber materials, and high-performance polymers capable of meeting the most demanding applications.
