What is the FDM filament? Let's get to know about it!

The presentation of a perfect 3D printing work depends not only on the stable operation of the 3D printer, but also on the filament used.

3D printers with FDM molding technology are favored by consumers due to factors such as economical benefits and easy operation.

Next, we will reveal the secret of FDM filaments.

Suitable for beginners

Simple principle, easy to use

FDM printing principle: the solid filament of specific wire diameter specifications are melted into fluid and extruded through the nozzle. Fluid filament is solidified layer by layer under the control of the software slicing algorithm until the entire model is formed.

The working principle of the FDM 3D printer is very simpleand can intuitively interpret the layer-by-layer molding method of "additive manufacturing", which is especially suitable for beginners.

Safety and environmental protection

Another advantage of FDM 3D printer is environmental protection. \one of thecommonly used filament is PLA (polylactic acid), which is a new type of renewable biodegradable material, using proposed starch raw materials made fromrenewable plant resources (such as corn stalks, etc.) So both the printing process and the final product are very environmentally friendly.

From the perspective of environmental protection and healthy use, FDM 3D printers have become the preferred equipment for primary and secondary schools. In 3D printing competitions held across the country, FDM 3D printers are basically used.

Affordable

The price of FDM filament ranges from RMB 30-200, with a wide range of printable sizes. Whether you are a creator, designer, engineer, teacher, or factory, you can find a model that suits you.

Outstanding Advantages

"Creality 3D FDM Filament Classification"

Among them, materials such as PLA, which require low machine requirements, and are friendly to novices, have become the preferred filament for 3D printing FDM.

Let’s look further into PLA series.

Advantages of PLA

◆Use high-quality raw materials without mixing recycled materials

◆Safety and environmental protection

◆Strict quality control

◆Multiple Colors

Vacuum sealed packing

◆Creality PLA series filaments

Widely applicable to all the general FDM printers in the market

HP-PLA

Frosted texture, new upgraded formula, stricter quality control, superior performance:

Use imported raw materials from the USAandupgradedformula, to achieve better performance;
Excellent toughness, repeated bending and continuous, the printed product is stronger; the support is easy to peel, and the printed product is delicate.

CR-PLA

Best sellerof filament, bright surface, stable filament:

Brand new imported raw materials, no impurities, smooth printing without clogging;
Excellent toughness, smooth and finer than HP printing surface, more colors option.

HC-PLA、EN-PLA

Economical and cost-effective；
Use brand-new raw materials, no secondedmaterials, no impurities, and print without clogging;
Excellent toughness, continuous printing, no warping, no drawing;
