Stratasys founder Scott Crump invented FDM Technology more than 20 years ago, and Stratasys has continued to lead the 3D printing revolution ever since, developing a range of systems that appeal to large manufacturers, designers, engineers, educators and other professionals.

FDM Technology uses the same tried and tested thermoplastics found in traditional manufacturing processes. For applications that demand tight tolerances, toughness and environmental stability – or specialised properties like electrostatic dissipation, translucence, biocompatibility, VO flammability or FST ratings – there’s an FDM thermoplastic that can deliver.

Benefits of FDM Technology:

• The technology is clean, simple-to-use and office-friendly
• Supported production-grade thermoplastics are mechanically and environmentally stable
• Complex geometries and cavities that would otherwise be problematic become practical with FDM technology
