FDM® Process 1. From 3D CAD data, pre-processing software automatically slices, calculates support structures and creates tool paths that are optimized for the printer. 2. Parts are built layer by layer in an additive process. Dual extrusion heads precisely lay down thermoplastic model and support material to create each layer. 3. Temporary support structures are easily removed. Soluble support material automatically dissolves in a water-based solution.

FDM
®
Process
1.
From 3D CAD data, pre-processing software automatically slices, calculates support structures and
creates tool paths that are optimized for the printer.
2.
Parts are built layer by layer in an additive process. Dual extrusion heads precisely lay down thermo-
plastic model and support material to create each layer.
3.
Temporary support structures are easily removed. Soluble support material automatically dissolves in a
water-based solution.
