Question

A manufacturing technique is being proposed that uses a variation of fused-deposition modeling,

in which there are two polymer filaments that are melted and mixed prior to being extruded to

make the part. What advantages does this method have?

Answer 1

FDM (FUSED DEPOSITION MODELLING) has the following advantages:

• the accuracy of the extract can be highly precise ranging between approx 0.005 inches
• high speeds of production as compared to traditional ways- from few minutes to hours, products can be derived easily
• operativity is higher because most of the functions are computerised
• the design limitations is minimal. Highly flexible range of designing can be undertaken. anything can be designed be CAD and produced.
• Automatic Scaling inside machine compartment ensures quality and accuracy
• cheaper than conventional methods
