    Most of them, but not all of them. The acronym FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) is trademarked by Stratasys, which invented the process, so if you're talking about a non-Stratasys printer and want to avoid stern letters from lawyers, you can call them FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication) machines, a generic term coined by the Rep-rap project.
