Over the years, the Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies are gaining more and more interest in the industrial and research field. So far the SLM technology is a well-established technology and is the main choice adopted to manufacture metal components even if it results higly energy-consuming. An alternative technology could be the metal FDM, an AM technology that has recently been worthy of interest. In the current study, every stage of the metal FDM process is described in detail and an experimental part is developed to characterize. Differently to the almost the totality of papers who adopt tailored materials, the current work only employs available commercial materials processed by means of a EVO Lizer 11 printer (Medical University of Vienna, Center for Physics and Bio-medical enginnering).
