Filament 3D Printing — Strength, Reliability, and Industrial-Grade Performance
Filament 3D printing, also known as Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) or Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF), remains one of the most versatile and widely adopted additive manufacturing technologies. Unlike resin or powder-based systems, filament 3D printing builds parts by extruding thermoplastic filament layer by layer, creating components with excellent mechanical properties and durability.
With Stratasys® FDM and Raise3D FFF, filament printing delivers a reliable, industrial-grade solution for prototyping, functional parts, and series production.

Industrial Strength and Precision
Stratasys® FDM
Technology Overview:
Stratasys® FDM technology is designed for high-performance thermoplastics and large-scale production. It provides precise control over material deposition, enabling mechanically strong, heat-resistant, and functional parts suitable for industrial use.
Why Stratasys FDM Stands Out:
- High-Strength Materials: Prints in engineering-grade thermoplastics such as ABS, PC, Ultem, and Nylon.
- Dimensional Accuracy & Repeatability: Ideal for functional prototypes, jigs, fixtures, and end-use components.
- Large Build Volumes: Supports production of sizable industrial parts without segmentation.
- Reliability for Continuous Production: Industrial-grade systems designed for extended operation.
- Post-Processing Automation: Integrates with systems like PostProcess Base / Oryx SCA-3600 to reduce manual labor on support removal.
Ideal Applications:
Functional prototypes and end-use components
High-strength jigs, fixtures, and tooling
Parts requiring heat, chemical, or impact resistance

Versatility and High-Quality Filament Printing
Raise3D FFF
Technology Overview:
Raise3D’s FFF systems offer high-precision filament printing with a focus on accessibility, flexibility, and consistent part quality. They support a wide range of thermoplastics, enabling small-to-medium production runs with excellent surface finish and mechanical performance.
Why Raise3D FFF Stands Out:
- Material Flexibility: Works with standard, engineering, and specialty filaments.
- Support for Complex Geometries: Dual extrusion allows printing of soluble supports for intricate designs.
- Industrial Reliability: Consistent performance for repeated production runs.
- High Surface Quality: Optimized slicing and extrusion parameters deliver smooth and accurate surfaces.
- Scalable & Accessible: Suitable for workshops, labs, and industrial environments.
Ideal Applications:
Functional prototypes and product development
Custom tooling and fixtures
Low-to-medium volume end-use parts

Why Choose Filament 3D Printing Over Other Technologies:
Filament-based 3D printing has unique advantages compared to resin or powder systems:
- Mechanical Strength: Produces parts that withstand heat, stress, and functional loads.
- Material Variety: Extensive range of thermoplastics from standard PLA/ABS to high-performance Ultem and Nylon.
- Large Build Volumes: Prints bigger parts more efficiently than most resin or powder printers.
- Industrial Reliability: Proven for repeatable production and robust operation.
- Cost Efficiency: Filaments are generally more affordable than resin or powder, and post-processing is straightforward.
- Design Flexibility: Supports complex geometries with soluble supports for intricate parts.
Filament 3D printing is the ideal choice when strength, durability, and material versatility are the primary requirements, making Stratasys FDM and Raise3D FFF perfect solutions for functional prototypes, industrial tooling, and end-use parts.
