FDM 3D Printing Process
This technology also prints the object layer-by-layer by heating the thermoplastic material to a semi-liquid state. This 3d printing process uses two materials to perform the printing operation. The first is the modeling material for the final product, and the second is the support material.
The materials are fed into the printer, and the printing head moves in X and Y coordinates to deposit material as per the CAD design. The printer’s head completes each layer before the base moves to the Z-axis, and then the layer printing starts.
Post-Processing
Once the process is completed, engineers remove the support material manually or dissolve it in water. The part becomes ready to use if there is no requirement for a specific surface finish. KARV Automation offers a wide range of finishing options like sanding, bead blasting, tumbling, and many more.
