FDM Capability
FDM stands for Fused Deposition Modelling (also known as or FFF) is probably the most common from of 3D printing today. Thermoplastics are fed through a nozzle which builds your object layer by layer. There have been huge leaps in FDM over the years so now you can do more than ever before, in more materials, faster and cheaper than ever, making it a perfect tool for prototypes, models and volume production as a precursor to injection moulding.
