Fused Deposition Modeling

The course gives you a 360-degree introduction to the 3D printing technology known as Fused Deposition Modeling - or FDM

In this book, fused deposition modeling (FDM) is described with focus on product quality control and enhancement. The book begins by introducing the basics of FDM and its associated process parameters. Then, strategies for quality control and enhancement are described using case studies of both original results by the authors and from published literature. Resolution and print orientation, multi-objective optimizations and surface engineering are identified and discussed as the strategies for enhancing the quality of FDM products in this book.

Learn the step-by-step procedure to 3D print using a Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) printer.

Propel Your Career & Discover the Additive Manufacturing / 3D Printing Technologies Shaping the Future of Production

e-Xstream engineering, an MSC Software Company, developer of Digimat, the leading nonlinear multi-scale material and structure modeling platform, announced the latest product release of Digimat 2017.1 at JEC World 2017 (Hall 5A/C68). Digimat continues to provide a leading solution for the accurate and efficient modeling of multi-scale material and structures, by extending its range of applications and continuously improving its overall workflow efficiency.

This issue includes repots given at the NAE Symposium in September 2011. This book covers four general topics from the 2011 symposium: additive manufacturing, semantic processing, engineering sustainable buildings, and neuro-prosthetics. The papers provide an overview of the challenges and opportunities of these fields of inquiry, and communicate the excitement of discovery.
The additive manufacturing session described how technologies such as stereolithography, fused deposition modeling, 3D printing, selective laser melting, laser-engineered net shape processes, ultrasonic consolidation, and selective laser sintering enable layer-wise fabrication of complex parts directly from CAD files without part-specific tooling.
