An Engadget explainer is breaking down FDM, fused deposition modeling, the most common 3D printing method. It explains how the process works: a printer melts thermoplastic filament and deposits it layer by layer to build an object. The piece covers what the acronym stands for, how FDM printers compare with other techniques, and why the method remains popular with hobbyists and makers for its affordability and accessibility.

Fused deposition modeling, or FDM, is the most common 3D printing method, in which a machine melts plastic filament and deposits it layer by layer to build an object. An explainer circulating online breaks down what the acronym means and how FDM differs from other 3D printing techniques such as resin-based processes.
