The 3-Step Process of FDM 3D Printing in Santa Ana CA

There is a three-step process on every FDM 3D printing job we complete. In essence, it builds the parts of the product layer, starting with the bottom. The three-step process is this:

  1. Pre-Processing. This involves build-preparation and positioning the 3D printer.
  2. Production. This is the step in which the actual product is made.
  3. Post-processing. If other steps are necessary, such as filing, sanding, etc., we take care of it post-processing.

Every job is different but these are the three steps involved in most jobs.
