FDM 3D printing
What’s FDM 3D printing
Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is a type of 3D printing technology that works by building objects layer by layer using a thermoplastic material that is extruded through a heated nozzle. This process can manufacture objects without a molding process and there for its used for prototyping purposes such as project enclosures, replacement parts, ornaments, mounting brackets and many more.
Surface quality of the 3D print
The surface quality of a 3D print mostly depends on the layer height of the 3D print since your object is made layer by layer in the 3D printing machine. In our 3D printing service, we provide three levels of layer heights to ensure the best quality of the product.
0.20 mm layer height (Standard quality):
- This is the default layer height in our 3D printing service. It is suitable for parts with flat or cylindrical surfaces. We recommend t use this quality to avoid an unnecessary cost increase for the product.
0.16 mm layer height (Dynamic quality):
- If your object has many curved shapes, carvings, and embossed areas we recommend using this quality to give better surface smoothness and details. Also, note that production costs will increase with this method due to the increase in printing time.
0.12 mm layer height (Super quality):
- This is the highest quality we can provide with our 3D printers and it is recommended to use only if your model has highly detailed areas with small surface details. Also, note that production costs will increase with this method due to the increase in printing time.
Materials used in 3D printing
We have a variety of materials to match your need.
PLA+
- This is the most used material in FDM 3D printing and it’s capable of giving a smooth surface finish to your printed parts. We use PLA+ version made by “ESUN” which is two times stronger than regular PLA materials. You can select from a wide range of colors to print your parts from this material.
PETG
- Polyethylene terephthalate glycol is known for high-temperature tolerance, chemical resistance, and slight flexibility. Currently, black color PETG from “ESUN” brand is available with us for your 3D printing needs.
ABS
- Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene is a widely used thermoplastic material in 3D printing due to its smooth surface finish and temperature-resistant nature. Currently, black color ABS from “ESUN” brand is available with us for your 3D printing needs.
Print volume
For regular prints
For regular prints we use 3D printers with print volume of 220 mm (L) x 220mm (W) x 240mm (H). These machines can print faster and with best surface quality with less support structures.
For large prints
For regular prints we use 3D printers with print volume of 300 mm (L) x 300mm (W) x 400mm (H). These machines are the largest machines we curretly have and if you need larger prints than this we can print objects as multiple parts and join them together.
Strength of the 3D print
The strength of the products depends on the material you choose and also on the infill density and wall thickness of the print.
Infill percentage
We use 20% infill density for regular 3D prints and if you need higher strength we can increase the infill density up to 100%. Also, note that production cost increases when infill is higher.
Wall thickness
We use 1.2 mm (wall line count 3) for regular 3D prints and if you need higher strength we can increase the wall thickness to 1.6mm (wall line count 4) or higher. Also, note that production cost increases when the wall thickness is higher.
