OUR 3-D PRINTING SERVICE MAKES YOUR 3-D MODELS A REALITY
Need Parts with Inserts? We can help!
WHAT IS FDM PRINTING?
FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) is a filament based additive technology.
FDM printers are equipped with a moving print head.
At the end of the print head is the nozzle (or nozzles) that melt and extrude filament material and deposit an object layer-by-layer according to a special CODE file derived from a customers 3-D CAD model.

Applications of 3D printing
The 3D printing process offers a range of industrial applications:
Medical end use
The customizability of 3D printed parts lends them to a range of medical applications, while 3D printed parts produced from biocompatible materials can significantly reduce the development time of a variety of medical devices and instruments.
Small pieces
3D printing is ideal for producing small parts in low volumes, with cost advantages over other traditional manufacturing processes with increased production.
Low volume production
With no capital costs for tooling and no minimum order quantities, 3D printing processes are well suited for production in low hundreds or thousands.
Custom parts
3D printed designs can be customized quickly and on a very small scale for functionality and aesthetics. For example, corporate customers may make individual parts with textures, logos or serial numbers.
HOW DOES A FDM (FUSED DEPOSITION MODELING) 3-D PRINTER WORK?
The process begins when a computer aided design (CAD) model is made. The CAD model is then imported into software that makes a CODE file. The CODE file acts as a set of instructions or as the “blue print” for the CNC controlled printer machine. The customer is required to down load a 3-D CAD model of the part they wish to have manufactured.

MATERIALS USED IN OUR 3-D FDM PRINTING SERVICE
FDM (fused deposition modeling) is the most common 3-D printing technology that offers good quality and a variety of materials, many of which are certified for regulated industries. FDM offers a fair quality finish and dimensional accuracy as well.
This process uses a filament that typically comes wound on a 1-kilogram spool and has a diameter of 1.75mm typically. Remember that this process uses the same types of raw materials as in the thermoplastic injection molding process. We Use and Carry in Stock Various Colors of 3-D FUEL Branded Filament For The Best Possible Quality- Made in USA
Standard PLA+ Filament
Standard PLA is a basic, entry-level PLA filament. It’s available in a broad color selection
Pro PLA Filament
High impact – almost equal to ABS, smooth finish, Improved heat resistance
Pro ASA Filament
Ideal material for outdoor applications and automotive applications, superior UV stability.
Pro ABS Filament
ABS filament is known for its high tensile strength, but it’s prone to certain annoying issues like warping and shrinkage.
