cheap 3d printing

FDM is the most widely available form of 3D printing. FDM is great for producing models and mock-ups for your designs. Verify your CAD models quickly and easily with a wide range of materials.

We employ industrial-grade FDM printers to give you exceptional results on time.

Once the entire model is finished and prepared for clean-up and support removal, FDM machines deposit a thermoplastic filament through a heated nozzle onto a build plate one layer at a time.

Why Choose FDM for Your 3D Printing Project?

Cost Effective

FDM 3D printing has proven to be extremely cost-effective for one-off prototypes, iterative design, and low-volume batch production.

Fast Turnaround

Lead times for prototyping and small batch manufacturing are reduced from months to a matter of days.

Flexible

Lead times for small-batch manufacturing and prototyping have been reduced from months to just a few days.
