The FDM Process

1) Pre-Process.

Stratasys software prepares your 3D CAD data for the FDM build process.

2) Manufacture Part.

Thermoplastic build and support material is
precisely deposited layer-by-layer, forming
your part.

3) Remove Supports.

Support material is easily removed in a hands-free, water-based tank, or break it away by hand.
