[3D printing] , also known as additive manufacturing, and [ SLA/SLS] r,FDM ,DMLS,MJF are technologies of 3d printing.Today we will introduce you FDM(Fused Deposition Modeling), one of the most widespread 3D printing technology.
What is FDM?
At [SG Prototype] , FDM is a fast and extremely versatile choice for many applications.It works by heating a thermoplastic filament into a molten state within a nozzle and precisely depositing it layer by layer onto a build platform to make appearance parts and functional parts.
SG materials available for FDM
1. PA (Nylon)
[Nylon] filament is an extremely durable material with great strength to flexibility ratio, which commonly used for semi-flexible and mechanical parts such as gear since its chemical, wear and UV resistance is higher compared with basic 3D printing [plastics].
2.PLA (Polylactic acid)
PLA is highly versatile. It prints reliably with high dimensional accuracy and a quality surface finish. As such, it is ideal for a range of applications – from detailed [prototypes] to simple manufacturing jigs and gauges.
3.ABS
[ABS] is a rigid, tough, heat resistant material that offers superior aesthetics. It is a great choice for creating functional prototypes and complex end-use parts.
4.PETG
PETG features high toughness, chemical resistance, ease of [printing] and hydrolysis resistance, and it can print parts such as container,Lamp housing.
The advantages of FDM
FDM is cost - effective and easy to operate. It uses environmentally friendly materials and is suitable for a wide range of applications. It is ideal for rapid prototyping and [small - batch] production.
