ABS
Material features:
Colours:
ABS is available from stock in 26 bright colours. Other colours on request
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.

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.

Mechanical Specifications
During additional research a print profile has been made which was optimized for achieving a highest possible tensile performance. Table 1 shows the typical values of an injection moulded specimen compared to a 3D-printed specimen in both the X-Y axis (3D-printed horizontally) and the Z-axis (3D-printed vertically). After that, some important parameters are given and the corresponding trend is briefly described.
Most important parameters:
When decreasing the Fan Speed up to a certain point the Stress at Yield will increase
An increase of up to 18% could be achieved in the vertical print orientation (Z-axis) compared to a visually optimized profile
When increasing the Material Flow the Stress at Yield will increase
An increase of up to 156% could be achieved in the vertical print orientation (Z-axis) compared to a visually optimized profile
When using an Enclosure the Stress at Yield will increase
An increase of up to 50% could be achieved in the vertical print orientation (Z-axis) compared to a visually optimized profile

Print Conditions
All specimens have been printed using a 0.4mm nozzle and the layer height was set to 0.2mm. The room in which the 3D-printer was located had an environmental temperature of ± 25°C.
*Test Conditions
The tensile tests have been carried out according to ISO-527 using modified 1BA specimens (3D-printing) and 1A specimens (injection moulding). The room in which the Universal Testing Machine was located had an environmental temperature of ± 20°C.
