ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is one of the most widely used thermoplastics in 3D printing, valued for its strength, durability, and heat resistance. While it requires higher printing temperatures and careful handling compared to PLA, ABS delivers reliable, functional parts suitable for mechanical and industrial applications.
Durability: Stronger and tougher than PLA, ideal for functional parts
Heat Resistance: Maintains structural integrity in warmer environments (distortion temperature ~73 °C)
Post-Processing Friendly: Can be sanded, drilled, or acetone-smoothed for a polished finish
Versatile Applications: Suitable for enclosures, brackets, housings, and mechanical components
Professional Finish: Smooth surface quality with potential for polishing and refinement
Industry Standard: Widely used in automotive, electronics, and consumer product prototyping
Plastic Type: ABS
Diameter: 1.75 mm
Weight: 1 kg spool
Print Temperature: 220–260 °C
Bed Temperature: 110 °C
Density: 1.06 g/cm³
Distortion Temperature (0.45 MPa): 73 °C
Melt Flow Index: 15 g/10 min (220 °C/10 kg)
Tensile Strength: 40 MPa
