Stratasys FDM

Overview

Stratasys Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)

High Quality in High Temperatures

Stratasys Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) printers are top of the line. The Fortus line can print many different materials. FDM materials are made into filament rolls which allows the materials to be switched out very easily, providing for a wider selection of materials. These materials range from high durability with high elongation to engineered plastics with high rigidity and high temperature deflections.

Resolution Chart

The resolution chart below shows the range of groove depth this material will produce. The larger the spike, the more significant and deeper the groove. The chart runs from very fine (left) to very large peaks/valleys (right).
