What is an FDM 3D printer?

 In recent years, 3D printing technology has attracted great attention from all walks of life due to its broad application prospects and great development potential. At the same time, with the continuous deepening of innovative research and development of 3D printing technology, 3D printer equipment with different functions and uses has become more and more common. I believe many people have noticed that there are not only desktop 3D printers and industrial 3D printers on the market, but what is an FDM 3D printer?

What is an FDM 3D printer?

The so-called FDM 3D printer is a 3D printer device based on Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM). In layman's terms, FDM technology is a 3D printing molding technology that uses high temperature to melt materials into a liquid state, extrudes them through a print head and then solidifies them, and finally arranges them in a three-dimensional space to form a three-dimensional object.

According to the "2018-2023 Global 3D Industry Market Prospect and Investment Strategic Planning Analysis Report" by the Prospective Industry Research Institute, FDM technology is currently the most popular technology for 3D printing applications in the world. 63.9% of the total platform revenue!

It is understood that the 3D printer equipment using FDM molding technology mainly has the following seven advantages: 1. The operating environment is clean and safe, and it can be carried out in an office environment (no danger of poisonous gas or chemical substances, and no laser is used); 2. The process is clean, Simple, easy to make and do not produce garbage; 3. High dimensional accuracy, good surface quality, easy to assemble. Bottle-shaped or hollow parts can be quickly built; 4. Raw materials are provided in the form of reel wire, which is easy to handle and quickly replace; 5. Low cost of raw materials, general parts are less than $20; 6. High material utilization rate; 7. Optional Various materials such as dyeable ABS and medical ABS, PC, PPSF, casting waxes and elastomers.

However, the shortcomings of 3D printers based on FDM technology are also obvious. There are three main points: 1. The accuracy is low, and it is difficult to build parts with complex structures. When making small or fine parts, the accuracy is not as good as SLA, and the highest accuracy is only 0.127mm; 2. The strength in the vertical direction is small; 3. The forming speed is relatively slow, which is not suitable for building large parts.

However, due to the advantages of open source and low cost of core components in FDM technology, it still attracts a large number of 3D printer manufacturers to join the innovative R&D industry. Take FlyingBear, a world-renowned 3D printer brand, for example, the company has accumulated many innovative achievements and rich R&D and manufacturing experience in FDM molding technology, and has launched many well-known classics, such as the FlyingBear Ghost5 before, and just this year. The FlyingBear Reborn launched has achieved good results!




Especially Ghost5, the price of this FDM 3D printer is only $260. This price can only be placed on our official website of Flying Bear, but the printing performance is very good and the price is very high, which can satisfy beginners to learn 3D printing at a low cost. The desire for technology and the needs of 3D printing enthusiasts for 3D printing performance are welcomed by many consumers.


At present, 3D printer equipment based on FDM technology is not only popular in the consumer market (individual players), but also used in industrial production, maker education and other fields, and is currently the most widely used 3D printing technology.
