FDM · fused deposition modeling
FDM 3D printing for functional parts
FDM builds parts from melted thermoplastic filament, layer by layer. It's cost-effective for tough engineering parts, brackets, housings, jigs and short runs.

When to choose FDM
When you need tough, functional parts in engineering polymers at a good price. As a guideline, FDM corresponds to ISO 2768 Medium–Coarse.
Materials
From PLA and PETG for prototypes to ABS, PC, TPU and glass-fibre PET-GF for demanding uses. See the materials page for details.
Large parts
Single parts up to 360 mm; bigger ones can be split and joined as an assembly.
How it works
- 01
Send an STL, STEP or 3MF file through the form or the calculator.
- 02
We review the geometry and send a quote, usually within 24 hours.
- 03
After your approval we produce the parts and ship them as soon as they're finished.
