Design for Fused Deposition Modeling 301

Design for Fused Deposition Modeling provides an overview of basic design considerations for fused deposition modeling (FDM). FDM has a wide range of manufacturing applications, including widespread usage in the medical field and the automotive industry. This course introduces users to the physical and mechanical properties of common FDM build materials like ABS, PET, and nylon. In addition, this course also highlights factors for support and internal structures as well as finishing and post-processing challenges associated with FDM. After completing Design for FDM, users will understand how various materials function during the design process for FDM and how they are used with various applications including end-use production. Users will also be able to recognize basic safety and design issues associated with FDM parts and products.
