Fused depositions modeling refers to a process by which digital 3D design data is used to build up a component in layers by depositing material. In contrast to classical methods of manufacturing such as milling and forging which are based on subtractive and formative principles respectively, fused deposition modeling (FDM) processes are based on additive principle for part fabrication. The biggest advantage of this processes is that an entire 3D (three-dimensional) consolidated assembly can be fabricated in a single setup without any tooling or human intervention; further, the part fabrication methodology is independent of the complexity of the part geometry. FDM has significant advantages in terms of elimination of expensive tooling and flexibility. The major limitation of this process is that performance of prototypes is sensitive to process parameter variation.
