UK FDM 3D Printing Service
RYSE 3D’s FDM (Fused Deposition Modelling) service delivers strong, functional, and production-ready polymer parts using advanced industrial printers and engineering-grade materials. From quick prototypes to full-scale manufacturing, our FDM process offers large build volumes, tight tolerances, and exceptional repeatability across a wide range of polymers - including ABS, PETG-CF, PA12-CF, PA6-CF, ASA, TPU, and PP.
Designed for automotive, aerospace, industrial, and consumer applications, RYSE 3D’s FDM technology produces durable, high-strength parts with professional surface quality and predictable performance. Whether you need lightweight tooling, robust housings, or end-use production components, our UK-based print facility delivers precision, consistency, and scalability from single prototypes to thousands of parts.
FDM - High Performance Large Fromat Parts
FDM (Fused Deposition Modelling) is one of the most widely used 3D printing technologies for creating strong, functional parts from thermoplastic materials. It works by extruding melted polymer through a precision nozzle, layer by layer, to build a solid part directly from digital CAD data.
At RYSE 3D, our industrial FDM systems go far beyond desktop printers delivering large-format, production-grade components up to 500 × 500 × 700 mm with exceptional dimensional stability, strength, and repeatability.
Because FDM uses the same engineering polymers found in injection moulding, it’s ideal for functional prototypes, tooling, jigs and fixtures, and low-volume production parts.

💬 FDM 3D Printing FAQs
What is FDM 3D printing used for?
FDM (Fused Deposition Modelling) is ideal for functional prototypes, tooling, jigs and fixtures, and low-volume production parts. It’s perfect when you need tough, lightweight, and cost-effective components made from true engineering-grade thermoplastics.
How strong are FDM 3D printed parts?
Our industrial-grade FDM systems produce parts with excellent tensile strength, stiffness, and impact resistance. Using materials such as PA6-CF and PA12-CF, we achieve structural performance comparable to injection-moulded components suitable for demanding industrial and automotive use.
What materials can I print with FDM?
RYSE 3D offers a wide range of engineering polymers, including:
- PA6-CF & PA12-CF – high-strength, carbon-reinforced nylons
- ASA – UV-stable for outdoor use
- PETG – strong, cost-effective, and easy to print
- PP & ABS – durable and chemical-resistant options
Each material is selected for its mechanical performance and application fit.
What’s the maximum part size for FDM printing?
Our printers deliver an impressive 500 × 500 × 700 mm build volume, allowing the production of large, single-piece components or multi-part assemblies printed together for perfect alignment.
How fast can parts be produced?
FDM printing offers rapid turnaround — most projects are completed and shipped within 1–3 days, depending on volume and finishing requirements. Perfect for fast prototyping or on-demand production.
