Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)
{"Image DocumentName": "Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)", "Image ImageDescription": "A spool of themoplastic wire (typically acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS)) with a in (300 \u03bcm) diameter is continuously supplied to a nozzle. The nozzle heats up the wire and extrudes a hot, viscos strand (like squeezing toothpaste of of a tube). A computer controls the nozzle movement along the x- and y-axes, and each cross-section of the prototype is produced by melting the plastic wire that solidifies on cooling. In the newest models, a second nozzle carries a support wax that can easily be removed afterward, allowing construction of more complex parts. The most common support material is marketed by Stratasys under the name WaterWorks) The sacrificial support material (if available) is dissolved in a heated sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution with the assistance of ultrasonic agitation.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
