Technologies / FDM Printing

FDM Printing

Fused Deposition Modeling — the most versatile 3D printing technology for functional parts, large formats, and production runs.

Layer Height
0.1–0.4mm
Adjustable layer height balances print speed with surface quality.
Build Volume
500 × 500 × 600mm
Industry-leading large-format FDM for full-scale prototypes and parts.
Materials
20+ Filaments
PLA, ABS, PETG, TPU, Nylon, PC, ASA, Carbon-fill, and specialty blends.
Tolerance
±0.2mm
Standard dimensional tolerance. ±0.1mm achievable with optimized settings.
Technology Details

Reliable, scalable,
field-proven.

FDM is the workhorse of additive manufacturing — and for good reason. It’s fast, cost-effective, and compatible with a wider range of engineering materials than any other printing process.

ExCom operates a fleet of industrial-grade FDM printers running 24/7. Our machines are calibrated weekly and monitored continuously for print quality.

How It WorksA heated nozzle melts thermoplastic filament and deposits it layer by layer to build the part from the bottom up.
Best ForFunctional prototypes, jigs and fixtures, production parts, large-format models, and cost-sensitive applications.
Material StrengthNylon and carbon-fill FDM parts rival injection-molded performance for many structural applications.
Post-ProcessingSanding, priming, painting, acetone vapor smoothing (ABS), and hardware insertion.
