We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "FDM",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Prototyping/production system is 'entry-level' from
Stratasys, which we summarised at the time by saying "An additive fabrication system for prototyping and direct digital manufacturing is designed for users with demanding applications that require accuracy and repeatability, but not high
speed".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Modular production system for design, engineering from
Festo: "A Festo MPS 500 modular production system has been installed at Middlesex University's Trent Park campus for students pursuing programmes in product design and engineering".
In December 2006, we covered the news from Laser Lines (Industrial and Medical)
concerning its FDM Vantage SE laser sintering system
- take a look at Laser sinters wider range of materials
which says: "The expanded suite of available materials was one of the major reasons why a company purchased the latest laser sintering system with a larger working envelope".
Take a look also at the news release from Paragon Rapid Technologies, Product gets reduced time to market,
as well as RP produces LED flood light components from Paragon Rapid Technologies,
and Metallurgy and metalworking to industry automation from Metal Pass.
