FDM or Fused Deposition Modeling is part of the Prototyping
Movement. Learn more about FDM Prototyping
FDM or Fused Deposition Modeling is said to be one type of a
free-form fabrication technologies being developed Stratasys Inc. As this
technology utilizes high force ABC plastic it is one of the most preferred
technologies for prototyping plastic parts which require force. The Fused
Deposition Modeling is a method of layered manufacturing which extrudes a very
thin drop of plastic, just one layer at a time. A string of plastic is supplied
into an extrusion cranium where this string is heated into a state of
semi-liquid form and then extruded via a very tiny passage onto the other layer
of the substance. Support substance is even being laid down in the same
method.
