FDM 3D Printing — FAQs
FDM (Fused Deposition Modelling) is our workhorse process — ideal for functional prototypes, jigs and fixtures, enclosures, brackets, and low-volume end-use parts where strength and cost matter more than ultra-fine surface detail.
PLA, ABS, PETG, TPU, Nylon, and carbon-fibre-reinforced blends, chosen based on the strength, flexibility, temperature resistance or chemical resistance your part needs.
Typical lead time is 1–4 days depending on part size, quantity and finishing requirements.
Strong enough for real functional use — jigs, fixtures, enclosures and brackets are all regularly printed in FDM and used in production environments, not just as visual prototypes.
Yes — FDM parts can be sanded, primed and painted to a smooth finish if visual presentation matters as much as function.
