Overview

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)is a 3D printing technique where an object is created by depositing semi-continuous thermoplastic filament extruded from a hot nozzle. FDM is the most commonly known and widely available 3D printing technique. FDM is cable of producing economical and durable parts/prototypes.

We have one Bambu Labs P1s and offer most commercially available filaments

Strengths

• Economical (in comparison to other 3D printing techniques)
• Good material availability (limited to thermoplastic options)

Weaknesses

• Lower fine feature resolution than other available 3D printing techniques
• Lower geometric freedom (in comparison to other 3D printing techniques available in the Discovery Lab
• Print surface finish can be seen as rougher compared to other 3D printing techniques
• Only able to print using opaque materials
