FDM printing

The FDM printing process is a fast and resource-saving process that can be realisedrelatively inexpensively due to its low complexity. The component is producedin a layered structure. The layers are up to 0.1 mm thick. This generativemanufacturing technology produces no waste.

Theprinting material is supplied as filament on a spool. A heating head melts thematerial thread and deposits it layer by layer in the desired shape on theprint bed. This creates fine grooves in the surface of the component which areno longer visible from a short distance.

In order to be able to print overhangs or steep gradients, a support structuremust be generated and printed. The support structures are then removedmechanically. This leads to slight residues on the component. Furtherpost-processing steps such as deburring individual edges are also necessary,which can result in slight processing marks.

Each component is checked afterwards and rejected if there are any unacceptabledefects. You can see the quality of the products in the respective productphotos. We attach the utmost importance to sending only absolutely flawlessproducts to our customers.

The printing material fulfils all the necessary requirements to be used for theapplication we require. It is weather-resistant, UV light

Thanks to the enormous developments that FDM printing technology has undergone inrecent years, this process is no longer reserved solely for prototyping. Thetechnology has absolutely established itself as a production process for smallseries.
