Why FDM 3D Printing Is the Most Widely Used 3D Printing Technology
3D printing has reshaped modern manufacturing by enabling faster production, reduced costs, and greater design flexibility. Among the various additive manufacturing technologies available today, FDM 3D printing (Fused Deposition Modeling) stands out as the most widely used and accessible method worldwide. Its affordability, ease of use, material variety, and industry-wide applications make FDM 3D printing the preferred choice for beginners, educators, and professionals alike. This blog explains why FDM continues to dominate the 3D printing industry. Understanding FDM 3D Printing Technology FDM 3D printing is an additive manufacturing process that builds objects layer by layer using heated thermoplastic filament. The filament is fed through a nozzle, melted, and precisely deposited onto a build platform based on a digital design file. Each deposited layer cools and bonds with the previous one, gradually forming a solid three-dimensional object. This straightforward process is a major ...
