Capabilities Stereolithography Cast Urethane Injection Molding Selective Laser Sintering Fused Deposition Modeling Cast Metal

Fused Deposition Modeling | Process | Materials |   FDM is a rapid prototyping process used to produce functional ABS, Polycarbonate and high-temperature Polyphenylsulfone (PPFS) 3D models directly from CAD data. The system utilizes an extruder-head which squeezes a plastic filament of melted thermoplastic through a nozzle. The nozzle deposits the heated plastic layer by layer to form the desired shape. Parts made in these materials are up to 80% as strong as the injection molded parts. Advantages Models are created in production materials such as ABS, Polycarbonate and PPFS. PPSF offers the highest heat deflection of any layer manufacturing process (372 F). Extremely durable, excellent for functional parts. Resistant to oil, gasoline and some acids.
