Thermoplastic Materials - ABS (Acrylonitrile/ Butadiene/ Styrene)

ABS is a strong, durable production-grade thermoplastic used across many industries.

ABS is an ideal material for conceptual prototyping through design verification through direct digital manufacturing. The marriage of ABS with FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) technology gives you the ability to create Real Parts™ direct from digital files, in a variety of standard and custom colors. This material is ideal for the rapid production of prototypes, tooling and the direct (tool-less) manufacturing of production parts.

ABS is widely used in applications where impact-resistance and structural strength are necessary. It is accurate, durable and robust enough for field testing or demonstration units. Because of its excellent dimensional stability, it is ideal for pre-production rapid prototypes that can accurately predict performance of injection molded parts.

ABS is ideal for any of the following applications:

• concept modeling

• Form, fit , function

• Design verification

• master for RTV molding and vacuum forming

• Jigs and fixtures

• Marketing tools

• Thermoforming

Available Colors

Blue, Yellow, Red, Steel Gray, Green, Black, White, Gray

Note: On-screen and printer color representations may vary from actual colors.

Achievable Accuracy

Parts are produced within an accuracy of +/- .005 inch or +/- .0015 inch per inch whichever is greater (+/- .127 mm or +/- .0015 mm per mm whichever is greater).

Note: Accuracy is geometry dependent.

Maximum Build Dimensions*

• 23.6 x 19.7 x 23.6 (inch)

• 600 x 500 x 600 (mm)

*Larger parts can be built in pieces and bonded if necessary.
