FDM 3D Printing Technology | 3D Printing And Manufacturing | Additive Manufacturing

    FDM 3D Printing Technology Fused Deposition Modeling process In the domain of additive manufacturing, Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) emerged as a pioneering technique revolutionizing industrial processes. This discourse delves into the technical intricacies of FDM 3D printing, elucidating its engineering underpinnings and practical applications in modern manufacturing. Foundations of FDM Technology: FDM, a subclass of 3D printing, hinges on the  controlled deposition of thermoplastic filament layers. This process, facilitated by a heated nozzle, results in the successive buildup of a three-dimensional object. The precision and repeatability inherent in this layered deposition mechanism underscore FDM's suitability  across diverse engineering sectors. • FDM can be used to print functional parts for various applications, such as aerospace, automotive, medical, and military. FDM can also print complex geometries, such as lattice structures, that are difficult...

Revolutionizing Tooling with 3D Printed Moulds: A Smarter, Faster, More Agile Manufacturing Approach

  As industries strive for greater efficiency, flexibility, and innovation, 3D printing is proving to be a game-changer especially in tooling. Traditional mould-making is often time-consuming, costly, and rigid. But with 3D printed moulds , manufacturers now have the ability to rethink how they approach production, prototyping, and product customization. A Real-World Example: Precision Tooling for IBHI In a recent collaboration with IBHI, we delivered a custom-engineered mould that combined high dimensional accuracy, exceptional detailing, and a quick turnaround. The mould was designed to meet exacting standards and was produced entirely through 3D printing a process that cut down lead time significantly and allowed for complex design features that would have been difficult or costly to achieve with traditional methods. This project illustrates the practical advantages 3D printed moulds bring to the table not just as a concept, but as a proven solution deployed in real-world indust...
