As a digitally connected company, FDM provides convenient and confidential in-house services to support UK manufacturing with:

  • 3D rapid prototyping.
  • In-house or mobile 3D scanning service.
  • An online Bureau service which enables clients to upload a CAD design file for conversion into a 3D object

3D printing is the process that uses fuse deposit modelling to enable an object to be created layer by layer replicating a CAD design exactly. FDM Digital Solutions can take a clients CAD design file and manufacture a prototype or end user part to the exact dimensions of the original file. Unlike SLA or SLS that use resins, FDM uses real production-grade thermoplastics, which are the same high-performance raw materials used in most injection moulding technologies. Using these materials FDM’s additive manufacturing achieves a higher degree of build accuracy, durability and repeatability. This technique enables clients to practically explore and successfully deliver complex and innovative design ideas that would otherwise be to expensive or even impossible to execute using conventional manufacturing methods.
