Possibly the most surprising thing about the FDM process is the fact that it can be, and is, used to create finished parts. FDM parts are made from a robust ABS blend of industrial-grade thermoplastics that is actually stronger than standard ABS! In addition, FDM parts can be smoothed, sanded, machined and painted to deliver parts that can be put into use immediately. In cases where the parts are painted, it is very hard to tell the difference between an FDM and a molded plastic part!
Many are now referring to this direct-manufacturing process as DDM (Direct Digital Manufacturing). DDM can help your company see many benefits. Here are just a few:

Rapid prototyping machine was invented in the year 1980 and this machine was introduced in order to form 3d physical models. These models can be created in a lesser time and at a low cost. The word rapid is used in the sense that it creates the models in a very limited period for maximum advantage. The creation of 3d prototype models takes a lot of time if done through digital data or 3d. Rapid prototyping machine has been introduced to speed up this process effectively. With the help of third printers, the tools can be formed much faster and even the prototyping can be done within no time.
This very new technology is welcomed by everyone. Many manufacturers have pitched in to make this machine that is all set to take over the market. The printers installed in these prototyping machines work fast and are extremely versatile. Rapid prototyping machines are very helpful to engineers, animators and product designers to convert their imagination into reality in the form of a model within the limited period.
