This is how Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)post processing works.

This is known as BST or Break-away Support technology. Simply break away all the support structure which is grey and you have the final product.

They also have SST which is Soluble Support Technology. Simply dip the part in a solution and it eats the supports away

  • Thanks for the tutorial on BST technology. I am part of a medical product development company that is considering purchasing the Dimension BST machine. It seems like a pain to remove all of those supports though!

  • I can't recommend the BST to anyone. You simply can't make complex parts with it and it just takes too much time to remove supports. You also have to be really careful not to break the part.

    I have the top of the line Dimension machine (SST 1200es) ready to make parts at reasonable prices.

  • =( so sorry for that comment. I was showing my buddy the video while taking a call. please ignore him! Anyways I'm very excited for this process as I am in need of getting some projects done. your tutorials have been amzing and helpful in teaching me the process! good work and keep it up!

  • call or email anytime!  570-262-0221. printo3d@printo3d (dot) com

    I just got a new dimension SST 1200es Monday!

see all

  • very nice, would be my choice for a bureau based RP modeler, prefer BST over SST

  • I thought it very stupid of you to censor art. don't be so prude next time.

  • sound is too low. First scene is washed out. please redo.
