It helps turn designs into scaled prototypes as close to the designed model. It is mainly used in the earliest stages of product development and can be used in conceptual models, functional prototypes, tooling, and electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3D printing requires 3D CAD models to print a part or assembly. The 3D models can be made using parametric CAD software such as Solidworks and CATIA V5, or Subdivision modeling software such as 3DS and Blender.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u0026lt;\n\u003cdiv class=\"dynamic-video-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"home-section--title\"\u003eNorck GmbH: Norck GmbH: Advanced 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dynamic-video\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-video=\"youtube\" class=\"video\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-video-url=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/QYqecePqTo4\" data-video-element=\"\" class=\"youtube\"\u003e\u003ciframe id=\"widget2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QYqecePqTo4?modestbranding=true\u0026amp;showinfo=false\u0026amp;controls=false\u0026amp;loop=0\u0026amp;rel=0\u0026amp;enablejsapi=1\u0026amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.norck.com\u0026amp;widgetid=1\" height=\"360\" width=\"640\" title=\"On- Demand CNC Manufacturing, CNC Machining, Milling, and Turning Services\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"1\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the advantages \u0026amp; disadvantages of using FDM?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFDM is used over other 3D printing processes due to:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style: none;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e- Most cost-effective\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e- Simple process\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e- Compact printer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e- Various materials can be used\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e- Reusable filament\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough there are disadvantages to using FDM:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style: none;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e- Longer printing time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e- Weak results (layers can be split)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e- Rough surface finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e- Nozzle clogging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow is it fabricated?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 3D printer slices the 3D model into several cross sections and prints them layer by layer. It uses a filament of a thermoplastic material such as PLA and ABS. The filament passes through a hot nozzle that melts it, and using a computer-controlled system, the nozzle moves along two axes and deposits the melted material on a platform. When a whole layer of the desired shape is deposited, the platform moves down to deposit the next layer. Once the 3D printed model is finished, it can be removed from the platform. Post-processing might be required to remove any excess material and burrs or to smooth surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"collection_images-inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"coll_images oneimgsc\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"img-col\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/4679\/3277\/files\/3-FusedDepositionModeling_00002.jpg?v=1664357942\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMost used materials\u003c\/strong\u003e:\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolylactic acid (PLA)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolyethylene terephthalate (PET)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoly-ether-ketone (PEEK)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolyphenylsulfone (PPSU)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParts and assemblies should follow specific design rules to be printed correctly.
