Stratasys FDM 3D Printers

Functional Prototypes, Tools and Production Parts

 

FDM Meets the Demands of Production

Stratasys FDM (Fused-Deposition-Modeling) 3D Printers streamline processes from design through manufacturing, reducing costs and eliminating traditional barriers along the way. With FDM, designers can create an idea, and test it the same day. Industries can cut lead times and costs, products turn out better, and get to market faster. Breakthrough designs, process innovations, just-in-time manufacturing — whatever you can imagine, FDM can make it happen.
