FDM Fused Deposition Modeling
Validate designs fast at low cost. Xinda's industrial FDM equipment supports PLA, ABS, PETG, TPU, nylon, and other engineering materials, ideal for large prototypes, assembly validation, and functional testing, from concept models to low-volume delivery.
Process Overview
FDM Fused Deposition Modeling
FDM printing demands careful model repair and slicing parameters. Xinda starts with drawing and model evaluation: repairing broken surfaces, checking wall thickness and overhangs, and setting layer height and infill by part purpose. Equipment status is monitored during printing, and parts are de-supported, sanded, and dimensions checked one by one, ready for assembly and testing.
- Low cost: the most economical 3D printing method for large prototypes and budget validation
- Material variety: PLA, ABS, PETG, TPU, nylon, and more engineering materials
- Large format: big build volume prints large parts and assemblies in one run

FDM Fused Deposition Capabilities
FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) builds parts by extruding thermoplastic material layer by layer through a heated nozzle. Xinda offers PLA, ABS, PETG, TPU, nylon, and more materials, ideal for rapid concept validation, large prototypes, and functional test parts.
FDM parts have strong layer adhesion and good dimensional stability. Post-processing like sanding and painting can improve surface quality. Ideal for structural validation, assembly testing, and non-cosmetic functional parts.
