Webinar Series: Design for FDM

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is an additive manufacturing technology that extrudes thin layers of thermoplastic layer by layer until a part is completed. This cutting-edge technology is used across industries like aerospace, transportation for production components and energy.

In this three-part pre-recorded webinar series, you'll learn how to apply design for additive manufacturing recommendations when using FDM technology, taking advantage of Stratasys' unique applications.
