Fused Deposition Modelling
We offer rapid turnaround for high-quality thermoplastic parts designed for commercial and industrial applications using FDM technology. Our services cater to your functional production or prototyping needs, providing a variety of materials from basic to engineering-grade.
Manufacturing with FDM 3D printing
FDM also known as Fused Deposition Modelling creates custom parts by heating and extruding thermoplastics layer-by-layer. It’s additive nature and soluble support material simplify the creation of parts with complex geometries and internal cavities. FDM thermoplastics also deliver the necessary properties for applications that demand precise tolerances, durability, and stability in different environments. They include many of the same thermoplastics used in traditional manufacturing processes like injection moulding. It is suitable for both initial and functional prototyping, as well as low-volume production, offering a variety of strong plastic materials from basic to engineering specification materials such as PLA, ABS, ASA, PC, TPU and PETG. While FDM is the most economical 3D printing technology, it goes beyond small-scale manufacturing.
FDM 3D printing is suitable for :
- Rapid prototyping for designs verification
- Functional testing of parts
- Low-volume production of end-use components
- Customized manufacturing with various plastic materials
- Production aids like jig & fixture

Our capabilities
We categorized it into two distinct classes: prototyping and industrial. Each class has specific capabilities that cater to different needs.
Prototyping FDM:
- Ideal for quick and cost-effective prototyping
- Suitable for testing designs and concepts
- Offers a range of material options, including basic and engineering-grade thermoplastics
Industrial FDM:
- Geared towards producing end-use parts
- Provides high strength, durability and thermal resistance
- Excels in producing functional components with various engineering-grade materials
Options for infill
We offer a few types of infill options with their properties : 10%, 15%, 20%, 40%, and 100%
We help you determine the best option infill options for the product.
-
Solid infill:
Parts are completely filled for the highest density. This is the heaviest and more expensive option but offers the highest strength. -
Light infill:
Parts are filled with a grid pattern, providing increased rigidity and being lighter than a complete solid infill. -
Ultralight infill:
Parts are filled with a grid pattern, making it the lightest and least expensive infill option. -
Customized infill:
Parts are filled with different patterns at specific desired location.
