Stratasys FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) Process

Stratasys FDM Process
Step 1: Pre-Process
From 3D CAD data, pre-processing software automatically slices, calculates support structures, and creates toolpaths that are optimized for the system.

Step 2: Produce Part
Parts are built layer by layer in an additive process. Extrusion heads lay down thermoplastic build and support material to create each layer.

Step 3: Remove Supports
Temporary support structures are easily removed. Soluble support material automatically dissolves in a water-based solution. Break-away supports simply snap off by hand.
