Stratasys FDM (Fused-Deposition-Modeling) 3D Printers streamline processes from design through manufacturing, reducing costs and eliminating traditional barriers along the way. With FDM, designers can create an idea, and test it the same day. Industries can cut lead times and costs, products turn out better, and get to market faster. Breakthrough designs, process innovations, just-in-time manufacturing — whatever you can imagine, FDM can make it happen.
Shorten the design process for new concepts with reliable FDM 3D printing.
Durable materials and simple print setup make prototyping in FDM fast and efficient.
3D print molds and dies with unique geometries in a fraction of the time and cost as traditional methods.
Create jigs and fixtures faster, and cheaper, without compromising on quality.
3D printing production parts can slash lead times by up to 83% by eliminating tooling and other traditional manufacturing constraints.
This guide will help you understand the questions you’ll need to ask as well as provide insight into the technologies, materials and services available to you.
