Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D Printed Materials

Xometry uses Stratasys Fortus FDM platforms for all FDM 3D printed parts.

  • FDM Next Available ABS or ASA: Next available ABS-M30 or ASA plastic built with fused deposition modeling (FDM). Colors may vary in orders selected as Next Available.
  • FDM Next Available Prototyping PLA: Next available PLA plastic built with fused filament fabrication (FFF) on a desktop 3D printer. Colors may vary in orders selected as Next Available.
  • FDM ABS-M30: Great general-purpose material available in six colors. Ideal for functional prototypes and low volume production. (View spec sheet)
