Overview: How FDM 3D Printing Works?
The Basics of FDM 3D Printing：
There are several different methods of 3D Printing, but the most widely used is a process known as Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM). FDM printers use a thermoplastic filament heated to its melting point and then extruded, layer by layer, to create a three-dimensional object.
Why Choose FDM 3D Printing With Unionfab
- Unionfab has domestic FDM printers with performance similar to Stratasys, which can provide printing of PC, ASA, PEEK and other materials with excellent performance and low price.
- We have 6 Stratasys F770 printers with a max build volume of 1000 x 610 x 610mm，20 FUNMAT HT printers with a max build volume of 260 x 260 x 260mm and 30 FUNMAT PRO 610HT printers with a max build volume of 610 x 508 x 508mm.
- Unionfab has a professional team of engineers and production capacity to provide more diversified, efficient and cost-effective FDM 3D printing solutions for different application scenarios of industrial customers.
Features of FDM 3D Printing
Material Selection
FDM printers supports a wide range of engineering thermoplastics and even some reinforced compound materials like PA-CF.
Accuracy
We use the most advanced industrial FDM 3D printers with tolerances of ± 0.004” or ± 0.002” per inch, whichever is greater.
Geometry
With dissolvable supports (industrial-level only), complex geometries and interlocking structures can be produced with ease.
Surface Quality
Extruding material layer-by-layer, the surface has layer lines and fine details cannot be realized.
Layer Adhesion
The unit cost and lead time will not be reduced as much as casted or molded parts.
Strength & Durability
High-performance plastics like PA/PC/ULTEM are ideal for applications that require resistance of certain aspects.
Turnaround
FDM parts do not require tooling which reduces the manufacturing lead time from weeks to days, allowing for faster innovation and speed to market.
End Production
FDM is capable of producing end-use parts on-demand to boost your marketing by customization.
Scale Effect
The unit cost and lead time will not be reduced as much as casted or molded parts.

Available Finishes
Default：
FDM parts are built with support material that is removed during post-processing. The part surfaces are left with fine layer lines.
Other：
・Painting
・Vapor Smoothing
・Want to custom the finish you need? Request in the quoting tool, we’ll evaluate your finishes on a case-by-case basis.
FDM 3D Printing Applications
Prototypes
FDM is ideal for producing form / fit and functional prototypes for testing in standard materials like PLA / ABS.
CEnd Parts
The heat tolerance and great mechanical properties of industrial FDM materials let end parts like jigs, fixtures, brackets be produced directly.
Customized Products
FDM can be applied to make small batched products with varied requirments, ideal for small businesses that wishes to test the market’s reaction to thier newly developed products.
