3D Printing: FDM Fused deposition modeling - Online Service

The mechanical properties of objects printed with this technology have an anisotropic behaviour, therefore the properties change along the different axes. In XY they are more performance-based, whereas the discontinuities of the layers in Z reduce their mechanical properties. Finding the best orientation remains fundamental for success and if in doubt, our technicians will be able to examine your files and provide you with feedback on the best solution for your application.

The components moulded with this technology are moulded with an internal "cubic" type honeycomb structure with a density of 30%. This internal structure is enveloped by a uniform 1.6 mm shell. This limits the thermal stresses dictated by localized material accumulations and guarantees in the same way the lightness and performance of the components.

The materials developed in Weerg for this technology are all combined with specific co-moulded support materials that allow the process limitations determined by the discrete mono-material deposition to be eliminated. Unfortunately, however, due to the most marked thermal withdrawals, some materials are processable albeit with geometric constraints dictated by the maximum and minimum wall thicknesses to ensure limited thermal stresses.
