Fused Deposition Modelling FDM

In this video, we take a deep dive into Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM), one of the most accessible and widely used 3D printing technologies. Learn how FDM works, step-by-step, from design and slicing to extrusion and post-processing. We’ll cover common and advanced materials like PLA, ABS, PETG, TPU, Nylon, Carbon Fiber, and PVA, along with their properties and use cases. Explore real-world applications across engineering, education, and healthcare, and see how the global e-NABLE community is using FDM to create life-changing prosthetics. This video also features a live demonstration of an FDM printer and dissolvable support material in action. Whether you're new to 3D printing or looking to expand your skills, this session will give you practical insight into the world of FDM.
