FDM 3D printing - ABS and PLA filaments

Example of 3D printed figures and prototypes by FDM in ABS and PLA materials

What is the FDM technology?

3D printers based on FDM technology manufacture parts heating the thermoplastic material to a semi-liquid state and extruding it layer by layer. 
The filaments of material are sent from a reel towards the printing head, which moves along X and Y coordinates and depositing the melted material to achieve each layer. The base moves downward along the Z axis and the next layer begins.
When the 3D printer ends, the user can detach the final product. The part is then ready for use.
