3D Printing Nuances

What to expect

Quality Assurance

Products made using the FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) method have a number of visual and tactile features that are normal for the technology and are not considered defects. These features are due to the very nature of FDM printing technology and do not affect the functionality of the product.
