2 BUILD STABLE AND ROBUST Produce parts with the most demanding requirements, ready for tough testing and harsh environments. The ability to integrate more lowvolume FDM models without incurring capital-intensive retooling costs and efficiency losses will be key to success in the future as we strive to respond to changes in market needs faster and with more flexibility. Rich Morris, BMW Manufacturing COMPLEX PARTS FDM has proven to be ideal for building durable, stable production parts in low quantities. Complex features, undercuts, and internal features are not a problem when using FDM to create your parts. It is also effective for high volumes of components with designs too complex for traditional manufacturing to execute. ENGINEERING-GRADE MATERIALS FDM offers a wide range of durable thermoplastics ideal for applications that require specialized properties, like electrostatic dissipation, biocompatibility, VO flammability or FST ratings. Engineering-grade thermoplastics, like ABS, PC-ISO polycarbonate and ULTEM 9085, are ready for rigorous testing and demanding applications. 2 StratasysDirect.com

3 FUSED DEPOSITION MODELING FDM is an additive manufacturing technology that builds parts layer-by-layer by heating and extruding thermoplastic filament. Ideal for building durable components with complex geometries in nearly any shape and size, FDM creates parts with outstanding thermal and chemical resistance at excellent strength-to-weight ratios. With our fast lead times and finishing options, FDM is a smart choice for anything from functional prototypes to production parts. Using FDM, engineers can build complex designs with ease turning previously problematic details into practical options. For applications that demand tight tolerances, toughness and environmental stability, FDM delivers. Get the expertise you need from the company that invented FDM. We re backed by Stratasys strong commitment to R&D and our engineers have access to an even broader team of FDM experts. BENEFITS Large Parts are easy to achieve with the one of the largest build volumes in 3D printing. Any parts too big for FDM s 36 x24 x36 build platform can be built in sections and bonded together by our expert assembly team. We ve manufactured large FDM components, from airplane landing gears to mockups of semi-trailer doors. Full Customization is at your fingertips with FDM. You define every precise detail of your part, including wall thickness, interior fill thickness, air-gap and direction of extrusion. Our expert engineers utilize FDM software to customize build styles that maximize efficiencies when making your parts. Production Parts can be quickly produced without costly tooling. FDM is ideal for durable, stable production parts in low quantities. Rely on FDM s repeatable accuracy that is achieved by a stable build style and dependable thermoplastics. This aerospace duct was created with ULTEM 9085, a flame-retardant high-performance thermoplastic ideal for the aerospace industry due to its high strength-to-weight ratio and its flame, smoke and toxicity rating.
