(2) (Frequency Division Multiplexing) Transmitting multiple data signals simultaneously over a single wire by using multiple carriers, each having a unique center frequency. (fused deposition modeling See 3D printing. ) rapid-prototyping machine. The maxum machine is the company's fastest and also has one of the largest build envelopes of any rapid-prototyping system. The new ABSi ("i" for impact) material is aimed primarily at automotive applications such as taillamps that require functional tests. ABSi is available as a colorless grade and in translucent red, amber, or white. It can be sterilized ster·il·ize tr.v. ster·il·ized, ster·il·iz·ing, ster·il·iz·es 1.
