Advanced Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)

Advanced Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is an evolution of traditional FDM technology, enhancing the standard process of extruding thermoplastic materials to produce 3D printed parts with improved quality and precision. This technique involves the layer-by-layer deposition of heated thermoplastic filaments, which are extruded through a nozzle and solidified upon cooling.

Advanced FDM incorporates features such as multi-material printing, advanced software algorithms for optimized tool paths, and enhanced temperature control, enabling the production of complex geometries and higher-resolution parts. Some printers that support advanced FDM include the Sastrasy F900. Advanced FDM is widely used for prototyping, functional parts, and even small-scale production due to its versatility and affordability.
