Design Guideline: Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)

These guidelines are to be used as a starting point in understanding the basic aspects of part design and preparation for Fused Deposition Modeling components. When designing a part to be built using FDM technology, build process must be considered. FDM is accomplished by extruding thin layers of molten thermoplastic layer by layer until a part is produced. Because FDM produces parts with specific characteristics and capabilities different from those of other prototyping processes, the systems have become increasingly used as a tool for producing manufactured products.
