The FDM process was developed in 1988 by S.Crump whofounded Stratasys the following year. Since then the
company has produced more than 1000 systems. The firstproduct ,the 3D MODELER, was introduced by thecompany in 1922.
The FDM process works by extruding a thermoplasticmaterial and depositing it layer-by-layer fusing it to the layerbeneath it, to form a 3D model. FDM creates functionalprototypes using a variety of engineering materials like ABS,and polycarbonate.

PROCESS
Step 1 : The Preparation
FDM begins with a 3D CAD file that is oriented in theappropriate orientation for building the part. The data is thenmathematically sliced into 2D cross-sections (layers) along the Z-axis.Step 2 : The Build
The nozzle is heated to melt the plastic filament and is mountedto a mechanical stage which can be moved in both horizontaland vertical directions. As the nozzle is moved over the table inthe required geometry, it deposits a thin bead of extruded plasticto form each layer and create a two-dimensional cross section of the model.

PROCESS
The plastic hardens immediately after being squirted from thenozzle and bonds to the layer below. The platform then descends
where the next layer is extruded upon the previous. Thiscontinues until the model is completed. The entire system is
contained within a chamber which is held at a temperature justbelow the melting point of the plastic.
Step 3 : The Completion
Once all the layers are drawn and the model is complete, themodel is then removed from the platform, and the supportstructures are removed from the part.

ADVANTAGES
True desktop manufacturing system that can be run in officeenvironment. There is no worry of exposure to toxic fume andchemicals.
The process is clean, simple, easy to operate and produces no waste
Fast building for bottle like structure or hollow parts Material is supplied in spool form which is easy to handle and
can be changed in minute Materials used are very cost effective, typical parts cost under
US$20 A good variety of material is available including colour ABS and
Medical ABS, investment casting wax and elastomer Mid range performance/cost RP system and is the best selling
RP system in 1995

DISADVANTAGES
Accuracy is relatively low and is difficult to buildparts with complicated details
Poor strength in vertical direction
Slow for building a mass part

APPLICATIONS
It does not need laser systems, uses relatively inexpensive binders, and is easy to changematerials.
The main difficulties are in controlling temperature within the growing part, the need toprovide support structures for the growing model
The accuracy which is limited to the nozzlediameter.

APPLICATIONS
Limited number of prototypes needed (1-10) Concept Models Functional testing Si3N4 components with good mechanical properties and
microstructure were produced with a filament containing 55 vol% of the ceramic. After FDM, green parts were densified by hotpressing and gave four point bend strengths similar to that of hotisostatic pressed parts.
A fine scaled piezoelectric composite structure can be made
consisting of PZT and polymer. The piezoelectric properties of the composite are similar or superior to conventionally processed PZT composites.
Composites with controlled composition distribution and a variety of microstructures can be made by combining filamentsof different compositions.

Rapid Manufacturing Jigs and Fixtures with FDMRapid prototyping has become a standard practice in productdevelopment. At the BMW AG plant in Regensburg, Germany, FDM
(fused deposition modeling) continues to be an important component in vehicle design prototyping. But moving beyond prototyping, BMW isextending the application of FDM to other areas and functions,including rapid manufacturing.
Rapid Manufacturing at
BMW
“BMW has determined that the FDM process can be an alternative to
the conventional metal-cutting manufacturing methods like milling,turning, and boring.”
