Most of the time FDM 3D printing involves laying down layers of thermoplastics, but the layer lines also form the biggest weakness with parts produced this way. Being able to lay out the lines to ...

There’s currently a struggle between two very different 3D printing technologies, known as FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) and advanced SLA (Stereolithography). The two methods are very, very ...

When most people think about 3D printing, they probably imagine an FDM (fuse deposition modeling, or fused filament fabrication) printer — a thin plastic filament feeding through a hot extruder that ...

Xometry walks you through common 3D printing challenges and how, with a little bit of knowledge, you can master fused deposition modeling. Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is an additive manufacturing ...

I know many of you may not know that much about 3D printing, and probably in many people’s minds, 3D printers are still an expensive and very complicated product to use. For a 10-hour print, it might ...
