Fused Deposition Modeling

While there’s been a recent boom in the popularity of 3D printing over the last decade, it’s actually been around for over 35 years. The technology started as an extremely expensive, niche method of manufacturing that held few advantages...

Additive manufacturing refers to a process by which digital 3D design data is used to build up a component in layers by depositing material. It is becoming more widely used, and has many advantages. Paul Gomer, an additive manufacturing development...

The New VORSA 500 reduces support removal processing times by over 50%. 

Propelled by materials advances, innovative techniques and performance im­prove­ments, additive manufacturing (AM) has come a long way since the days of experi­mentation for prototyping. As products gain complexity and shrink in size, AM is...

Precision Additive, an industrial 3D printing service bureau, has launched in Englewood, CO.

Australian race team says additive manufacturing is addictive.

Three new 3D printers encompass FDM, P3 and SAF technologies.

The company also offers metrics through its cost-per-part and throughput calculator.

FDM Fixture Generator is first in a series of customizable Design for Additive Manufacturing workflows for a variety of Stratasys 3D additive manufacturing systems.

Using $600 desktop 3D printers, college demonstrates that the parts can be conventionally welded.

These standards were created after a request from airlines through the International Air Transport Association's EMG to be able to realize additively manufactured plastic cabin parts.

Combining cloud-based orthotic designs with FDM production to deliver custom orthoses and streamline patient care.

The objective of this program was to build upon previous results from America Makes Project Call #1 project entitled “Maturation of Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) Component Manufacturing.

Shape Independent Models Predict Behavior of 3D Printed Cellular Materials with 90% Accuracy.
