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.
Why now: Renewed general interest in consumer 3D printing has people looking up basic terminology like FDM.
