FDM 3D Printing Service – China Top Fused Deposition Modelling Parts Supplier

In FDM, an object is built by selectively depositing molten material layer by layer in a predetermined path Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) or Fused Filament Processing (FFF) is an additive manufacturing process that belongs to the material extrusion family. In FDM, objects are constructed by selectively depositing molten material layer by layer in predetermined paths. The materials used are thermoplastic polymers and are in the form of filaments.

FDM is the most widely used 3D printing technology: it represents the largest installed base of 3D printers worldwide, and is often the first technology people encounter. The designer should keep in mind the capabilities and limitations of the technology when using FDM to manufacture parts, as this will help him achieve the best results.

How Does FDM 3D Printing Work? – Steps of FDM 3D Printing Process

This is Steps of FDM 3D Printing Process :

First, load a roll of thermoplastic filament into the printer. Once the nozzle reaches the desired temperature, the filament is fed into the extrusion head and melted in the nozzle.
The extrusion head is connected to a 3-axis system so that it can move in the X, Y and Z directions. The melted material is extruded into thin strips and deposited layer by layer in predetermined locations, where it cools and solidifies. Sometimes the cooling of the material can be accelerated by using a cooling fan mounted on the extrusion head.
To fill an area, multiple passes are required (similar to using markers to color a rectangle). Once a layer is complete, the build platform will move down (or in other machine setups, the extrusion head will move up) and deposit a new layer. Repeat this process until the part is complete.
Fourth, to support, post-processing work.

The Features Of FDM 3D Printing

Most FDM systems allow adjustment of several process parameters, including nozzle and build platform temperature, build speed, layer height, and cooling fan speed. These are usually set by the operator, so the designer should care little about them.

From a designer’s perspective, what matters is the build size and layer height:

Usable internal dimensions for desktop 3D printers are typically 200 x 200 x 200 mm, while for industrial machines it can be as high as 1000 x 1000 x 1000 mm. If a desktop machine is desired (for example, to keep costs down), large models can be broken down into smaller pieces and then assembled.

Typical layer heights used in FDM vary from 50 to 400 microns and can be determined when ordering. Smaller layer heights produce smoother parts and more accurately capture curved geometries, while larger layer heights can be produced faster and at a lower cost. Layer heights of 200 microns are most commonly used.

The Filler And Shell Thickness Of FDM 3D Printing

FDM parts are usually not physically printed to reduce printing time and save material. Instead, the perimeter is tracked using multiple channels called the shell, while the interior is filled with an internal low-density structure called the infill.

The thickness of the filler and shell can greatly affect the strength of the part. A guide to choosing the best shell and fill parameters for FDM 3D printing can be found here. For desktop FDM printers, the default setting is 25% infill density and 1 mm shell thickness, which is a good compromise between strength and speed for fast printing.

Advantages And Disadvantages Of FDM

Main Advantage:

FDM is the most cost-effective way to produce custom thermoplastic parts and prototypes.
Due to the high availability of the technology, FDM has short lead times (as fast as next day delivery).
A variety of thermoplastic materials are available for prototyping and certain non-commercial functional applications.

Main Disadvantages:

Compared to other 3D printing technologies, FDM has the lowest dimensional accuracy and resolution, so it is not suitable for parts with intricate details.
FDM parts may have visible layer lines, so post-processing is required to smooth the surface.
The layer bonding mechanism makes FDM parts inherently anisotropic.
