Fused Deposition Modeling FDM – All You Need To Know About It

You may already know about 3D printing or additive manufacturing. But did you know that it involves different technologies that may or may not be appropriate for your project? One of the more common and versatile 3D printing technologies is fused deposition modeling or FDM, which builds parts using an extruded plastic filament into a nozzle and lays it down in a build chamber one layer at a time. This way, the process can realize designs with complex geometries. The FDM 3D printing method has restrictions, so overhanging features need support, which is removed post-process.
