Fused Deposition Modeling
Generally speaking, FDM, fused deposition molding, uses high temperature to melt the material into a liquid state, extrude it through the print head and solidify it, and finally arrange it in three-dimensional space to form a three-dimensional object. As a reputable fused deposition manufacturing company, good at rapid prototyping fdm, Zhongde provides professional fused deposition modeling 3d printing for customers around the world.
