Prints with FDM Printing
Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is the most versatile technique and is used for functional and visual prototypes, final products, jigs and fixtures, package studies, visualization and architectural models with a lower degree of detail richness and surface finish. FDM has the largest range of materials of all 3d printing techniques and is the one used by the most users. By extruding thermoplastic through a nozzle, the object is built up layer by layer. The selectable materials range from everything between the most common construction plastics to more specific plastics such as bio-plastics and plastics based on corn and wood. Many different colors are offered but normally you are limited to only one or two colors per component. We work with many different methods within 3D printing, including SLS printing and SLA printing.

Materials for FDM Printing
PETG
PETG is a versatile material with material properties that lie between PLA and ABS, which means that it is both stiff and impact-resistant. These mechanical properties together with the high resistance to chemicals and moisture make PETG a perfect material for applications inside and outside industrial doors. We offer PETG in a variety of colors and we also have an ESD-rated variant, PETG-ESD, as well as one that is carbon fiber reinforced, X-PETG.
- High impact resistance
- High resistance to chemicals and moisture
- Excellent material for outdoor environments

ABS, 100% recycled
ABS is one of the most common structural materials used in industry due to its impact resistance and strength. Our ABS is 100% recycled and has the same high mechanical properties as "new". PETG is used more and more instead of ABS due to higher rigidity but ABS has a little higher impact resistance and quite a lot higher temperature resistance than PETG.
