Extruded thermoplastic layers for rapid, economical prototypes.
Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) extrudes heated thermoplastic filament in thin beads, stacking layers to form a part. FDM is economical for early prototypes, large bulky geometry, and fixtures where surface cosmetics are secondary to speed and cost.
Fused Deposition Modeling pushes a thermoplastic filament through a hot nozzle and stacks beads into a part. It is the fastest way to get a large, cheap shape on the table when layer lines are acceptable.
AIHFABS quotes FDM for jigs, early form-and-fit, and bulky exhibition models. If you need a smooth show face or nylon-level isotropy, move the same file to SLA or SLS instead of sanding for days.
Layer height and envelope vary by cell. Large-format jobs are reviewed before a date is promised.
From 24–48 hours depending on size
±0.5 mm or ±0.5% on FDM-appropriate geometry
Varies by machine; large-format options on request
Visible layer lines; sanding and coating improve appearance
Breakaway or soluble supports on overhangs
Layer lines are part of the process. Sand, fill, or coat only the faces that will be seen.
Visible beads. Correct for shop aids, fixtures, and most internal mock-ups.
Layer lines knocked down and filled on show faces before paint.
Paint, primer, or tapped inserts after support removal.
FDM is the cost and size lever. Resin and powder beds take over when finish or isotropy matters more than price.

Filament is fed through a heated nozzle that deposits beads along slice paths.
The build plate or toolpath strategy supports overhangs with soluble or breakaway structures.
Layers fuse together as they cool; chamber heating improves ABS and nylon performance.
Supports are removed and parts can be sanded, tapped, or bonded.
Orientation, infill, and wall count are set from how the part will be loaded — not from a default slicer profile. Tell us if it is a visual mock or a fixture that will see clamp force.
Supports come off before tap, sand, or coat. Soluble supports are used when the overhang would scar a show face.
Orient for strength and for the faces you refuse to sand.
| Feature | Recommended practice |
|---|---|
| Orientation | Keep cosmetic faces off support interfaces when you can. |
| Fillets | Add fillets on load-bearing corners; sharp notches crack along layers. |
| Infill & walls | Say if the part is loaded — we will raise walls and infill instead of guessing. |
| Overhangs | Expect breakaway or soluble supports below about 45°. |
Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is a powder-bed metal additive process. A high-power laser scans each cross-section of your CAD model, melting metal powder that solidifies into a dense part.

FDM parts are built from deposited roads and layers. Show the direction of load and the environment so orientation, wall strategy and material can be reviewed together. ABS and PETG are different materials; neither should be selected by appearance alone.
Support-facing surfaces can have a different texture and accuracy from accessible walls. Consider splitting a large part into an assembly when support removal is difficult. Specify inserts and threaded interfaces early, and state whether the part is a visual model or working fixture.
Confirm filament grade, build orientation where function depends on it, visible layer texture and required assembly fit. Discuss heat exposure and sustained load before using a printed fixture in production.
