Rapid Prototyping by The Product Workshop

FDM Prototyping

FDM Fused Deposition Modeling
FDM creates a model from your CAD data by extruding a bead of molten plastic through a small nozzle, these layers fuse to subsequent layers to form a solid part.

Maximum single component size 600 x 500 x 600mm.

Why Use It
Functionality - As real engineering plastics are used to create the model, prototypes can be built which closely match the final products mechanical properties.

Accuracy - Parts can be produced to +/- 0.2 mm tolerance.

What to Consider
Speed - Delivery is usually 3 to 5 days depending on part size, if you require a functioning prototype quicker.

Have you considered - SLS Prototyping?
