Explainer: What FDM means in 3D printing

Original: What does FDM stand for in 3D printing and how does it work? https://www.engadget.com/2273342/what-does-fdm-stand-for-fu

An Engadget explainer is breaking down FDM, fused deposition modeling, the most common 3D printing method. It explains how the process works: a printer melts thermoplastic filament and deposits it layer by layer to build an object. The piece covers what the acronym stands for, how FDM printers compare with other techniques, and why the method remains popular with hobbyists and makers for its affordability and accessibility.

Why now: 3D printing explainer content is circulating among technology and maker communities, prompting interest in basic terminology.
