How Hardware Startups Use Fused Deposition Modeling for Functional Prototypes
In this episode of Hardware Startups with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore how modern hardware startups leverage Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) to create functional prototypes for testing form, fit, and function — not just display models. They break down the specific materials and settings that make FDM viable for end-use-like testing, including carbon-fiber-filled nylon for structural parts and polycarbonate for heat resistance. Lucas shares a concrete example from a startup building a portable water quality sensor that iterated through 17 FDM prototypes before committing to injection…
