The addition of FDM printing allows AME-3D to offer a practical solution for customers requiring rapid turnaround parts for jigs, fixtures, functional prototypes, mock-ups and early-stage testing. By producing FDM parts in-house, AME-3D can help customers validate designs quickly and economically before progressing to higher-detail or production-focused processes.
FDM 3D printing is particularly suited to applications where speed, functionality and cost-efficiency are key, making it an ideal option during the early phases of development. It enables teams to test fit, form and function without over-specifying parts or incurring unnecessary cost.
Jamie Corden, Sales and Marketing Director at AME-3D, commented, “Adding FDM to our in-house capabilities allows us to support customers earlier in their development journey. It’s a fast and cost-effective way to produce functional parts for testing, jigs and fixtures, helping teams make informed design decisions before moving into more advanced manufacturing processes.”
The new FDM capability complements AME-3D’s existing range of industrial 3D printing and manufacturing services, enabling the company to offer a more complete, end-to-end solution. Customers can now move seamlessly from early-stage FDM prototypes through to higher-resolution or production-ready processes as projects progress.
With all design & manufacturing delivered in-house from the UK, AME-3D continues to focus on reducing lead times, improving flexibility, and providing practical product development solutions that align with real-world development needs.
