ABS is an extra strong impact-resistant filament ideal for 3D printing of solid printed products. Due to the process stability and physical features of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene it is a widely used thermoplastic polymer in industry. The material is also very light and durable. This makes ABS particularly suitable for tools, toys and all kinds of utensils. Printed at a slightly over-average temperature for ABS, this filament gives extra strong 3D print results.
ABS features:
- Very high impact-resistance
- Extra strong
- Stable printing
- Light and durable
- Limited warping

Colours:
ABS is available from stock in a large selection of bright colours of which you see a selection beneath.
For non stock colours a minimum of 40kg ± 10% is required.
Packaging:
ABS is available in nearly any type of packaging and labelling. Ask our team to help you customizing your product.
Additional info:
Recommended temperature for heated bed is ± 90-110˚C.
ABS is printed at a slightly higher temperature to make the final product extra strong.
ABS can be used on all common desktop FDM or FFF technology 3D printers.
Storage:
Cool and dry (15-25˚C) and away from UV light. This enhances the shelf life significantly.
