FAQ Section:

What is FDM 3D Printing? FDM stands for Fused Deposition Modeling. It's a widely-used 3D printing technology that involves extruding thermoplastic materials through a heated nozzle, depositing them layer by layer to create a three-dimensional object.

How does FDM 3D Printing work? FDM 3D Printing operates by precisely moving the printer's head and heating the nozzle to melt and deposit thermoplastic filament in precise patterns, building up the object layer by layer based on G-code instructions generated by slicer software.

What are common FDM printing materials? The most common FDM materials include Polylactic Acid (PLA) and Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), with a growing range of options including flexible TPU and composite materials.
