FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) 3D Printed Parts

Benefits of FDM parts

• parts are real thermoplastic
  
• rugged, durable and usable parts for test or end-use
• our most cost-effective technology​​
  
• parts can be machined and post processed for additional flexibility
  
• parts can be built that are otherwise unmanufacturable
  

​Applications

• Prototypes
• Production Parts
• Proof of Concept
• Manufacturing Tools
• Work-Holding Fixtures
  
• DoE

FDM Material	Description	Appearance
ASA Plastic	popular production plastic; similar to ABS but with improved weather resistance; makes robust, usable parts for prototype or end-use; widely used int he automotive industry	white, off-white, black (colors available)
PETG Plastic	plastic for high impact mechanical parts that may be subjected to moderate heat loads.; more wear and impact resistant than ABS while still being very cost effective for production printing applications.	​black, white, grey, red, and blue
PLA Plastic	PLA is a renewable plastic material offered as a low-cost material option for fast-draft part iterations.​	​black, white, grey, red, and blue
ABS Plastic	popular production plastic; makes robust, usable parts for prototype or end-use	white, off-white, black (colors available)
PC Plastic (polycarbonate)	highest end thermoplastic material for mechanical applications, offering the best strength and heat resistance	white (natural), grey, black

Unless otherwise stated, expected tolerances on all 3D printed parts are +/- 0.02” within the first inch and +/- 0.003” for each additional inch or better. Part geometry, wall thickness, and build orientation can have an effect on tolerances. Please let us know if you have critical dimensions that need to be met.  Generally speaking, minimum feature size/wall thicknesses should be .025" or larger.
