FDM is a manufacturing process that uses additive fabrication technology to build thermoplastic prototypes or production parts by laying down material in layers.
Proto3000 can build your model parts in a fraction of the time and cost associated with traditional manufacturing processes.
FDM technology common uses:
-
Ramping up production, while waiting for tooling
-
Low-volume production
-
Replacement part manufacturing
-
Limited/special edition products
-
One of a kind products
-
Jigs and fixtures
-
Design verification
-
Functional testing
-
Product end-use
-
Marketing tools
Lead time: Normally 1-3 business days depending on the capacity of the printers when we receive payment. Local customers are welcomed to pick up models from our facility
FDM Layer thickness: Horizontal build layers can be built in three options fine (.007"), standard (.010"), and rough draft (.013")
Minimum Wall Thickness: .020"
Dimensional Tolerances: ABS models maintain tolerances of +/- .005" for the first inch, and +/- 0.002" for each additional inch. In the z height (vertical), standard tolerances of +/- 0.010" for the first inch, +/- 0.002” on every inch thereafter.
Build size: for a single piece is 10" x 10" x 12". Models that are larger than the build envelope can be divided, printed as separate pieces, & assembled.
