A 3D printer produces physical  three-dimensional objects from three-dimensional digital models. But 3D  printing machines are driven by several 3D printing technologies. The  usage statistics posted on Statista suggest that Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) currently has a much larger installation base than other 3D printing technologies.

Also, FDM is one of the additive  manufacturing technologies that are used widely by individuals and  enterprises. Students, innovators, and hobbyists opt for FDM as a  beginner-friendly and cost-effective 3D printing technology.  At the same time, industrial-grade FDM 3D printers help enterprises  replace subtractive manufacturing with additive manufacturing.
