We. Love. Noodles.
We love plastic noodles! At Printastique we use FDM: Fused Deposition Modelling, where thermoplastics are fed through a nozzle building objects layer by layer. With current FDM technology you can do so much more, even faster and cheaper than ever, making it a perfect tool for prototypes, models and volume production as a precursor to injection moulding.
