Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM®), invented by Stratasys®, is the most popular method of 3D printing for consumer products. It is widely used due to its affordability, ease of use, and availability of various materials, which makes it accessible for hobbyists, designers, and small businesses to produce a wide range of items, from simple prototypes to functional products.

3D printing can be used to create a variety of consumer products in the prototype stage or final product such as smartwatches, headphones, kitchen appliances, smartphones, personal laptops, fitness trackers, hairdryers, e-readers, digital cameras, and gaming consoles. Product support is also used in consumer product manufacturing such as product holders, displays, or thermoform tools to help create consumer product packaging. 

 

Consumer goods use 3D printing to rapidly prototype and validate designs, enabling designers and manufacturers to test and refine their products before mass production. It allows for highly detailed and customized items, supports small batch production, and reduces time and costs compared to traditional manufacturing methods. This technology also enables innovative designs and functional parts that might not be achievable through conventional processes.

 

A wide range of consumer goods can be 3D-printed, such as furniture, eyewear frames, footwear, home decor items, kitchen utensils, toys, custom phone cases, game pieces, and stationery items. These tangible items benefit from the customization and intricate designs made possible by 3D printing.
