FDM Printing
Embedded Files
FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) technology enables the fabrication of parts by extruding melted thermoplastic filament layer by layer. It is a well-established additive manufacturing technique known for its precision, repeatability, and compatibility with a wide range of engineering polymers.
At Additech Ingeniería, we use this technology as a foundation to develop functional and customized solutions. We have a fleet of high-speed printers, allowing us to handle series production jobs with competitive turnaround times without compromising quality or detail. Additionally, we have machines with large build volumes to manufacture large parts in a single stage, avoiding joints or additional processes.
Our work goes beyond printing: we optimize parameters, geometries, and material selection based on the mechanical, thermal, or structural requirements of each project. We use PLA+, ABS, PETG, flexible materials, and fiber-filled composites, always seeking the best balance between strength, dimensional stability, and processability.
We offer integration with functional components such as bolts, magnets, or springs, enabling the development of mechanical assemblies ready to be assembled and validated under real-world conditions.
Available Materials
PLA
PLA is a material that stands out for its ease of printing, good surface finish, and low cost.
It is perfect for models, visual prototypes, fixtures, and applications where significant mechanical stress or exposure to high temperatures is not required.
ABS
ABS is an excellent choice when mechanical and thermal resistance are required. It performs well against moderate impacts, can be machined, sanded, and painted, and withstands higher temperatures than PLA.
It is ideal for housings, functional fixtures, mechanical parts with moderate demands, and components used in indoor or protected environments.
PC-ABS
PC-ABS is a technical material that combines the best of both worlds: the impact and thermal resistance of polycarbonate with the good printability of ABS. It offers excellent dimensional stability and outstanding wear resistance.
It is recommended for manufacturing structural parts and machine components subjected to mechanical loads, friction, or high temperatures.
PP
PP (polypropylene) is a lightweight, flexible technical material with excellent chemical resistance. It can also withstand high load cycles without breaking, making it ideal for manufacturing living hinges, caps, containers, and parts exposed to corrosive substances.
3D printing polypropylene is challenging, as it requires controlled conditions to ensure good bed adhesion and avoid warping.
TPU (FLEX)
TPU is a flexible thermoplastic ideal for producing elastic parts that are resistant to wear and abrasion. It withstands large deformations, making it suitable for gaskets, dampers, protective covers, or impact-absorbing components.
It is available in various hardness levels, allowing its use in a wide range of applications depending on design requirements.
