Finishing Options for FDM 3D Printing
As-printed
FDM parts are printed with support structures that are carefully removed during post-processing to reveal the final geometry.
Custom
If you can submit your inquiry now and select your desired finish, our team will review it promptly and get in touch with you.
FDM Infill Options
Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) builds parts layer by layer by extruding heated thermoplastic along a defined path. During printing, the interior of a part can be filled in different ways depending on performance and weight needs. This internal structure is known as infill.
Koonze Model offers three standard FDM infill options:
- Ultralight (up to 20%): Filled with a single zig-zag pattern. It’s the lightest and most cost-effective option.
- Light (20–50%): Uses a double cross-hatch pattern for added strength while staying lightweight.
- Solid (50–80%): Densely filled for maximum strength—ideal when durability matters most.
FDM Layer Thickness Options
Layer thickness refers to how tall each printed layer is in the 3D printing process. In FDM, this setting directly affects surface finish, strength, and print speed. Thinner layers offer smoother detail, while thicker layers print faster and cost less.
Koonze Model offers three layer thickness options:
- 100 µm – Fine detail
- 200 µm – Standard balance
- 300 µm – Cost-efficient

Pros & Cons of FDM 3D Printing
| Advantages | Considerations |
|---|---|
| Print large parts with ease – FDM supports extra-large build volumes for oversized components. | Support marks may remain – Removed supports can leave visible traces on surfaces. |
| Broad range of options – Choose from 40+ material and color combinations to match your needs. | Lower detail resolution – Fine features may not print as sharply. |
| Minimal finishing required – Most parts come ready to use straight off the printer. | Visible layer lines – Parts may show noticeable stepping on curved surfaces. |
| Quick turnaround – Projects can be delivered in as fast as 8 days. | Not ideal for mass production – Better suited for low-volume or prototype runs. |
