Thermoplastic polymer known for its toughness, impact resistance, and ability to withstand high temperatures. With a long-standing position in the 3D printing industry, it remains a popular choice thanks to its low cost and its mechanical properties. ABS releases a strong odor during printing.

When to use ABS?

· Functional prototypes

· Enclosures or parts exposed to heat

· Jigs and fixtures requiring repeated handling or stress

· Designs that require post-processing (smoothing, painting)

· Long-lasting, strong parts

· Resistance to impact and abrasion

· An easy-to-sand or chemically smoothed finish
