Tough enough for mechanical and functional parts, cheap enough to tackle iterative design and production. ABS is a great low cost option for parts that require quick turnaround. With a matte finish and a wide range of colors, ABS parts can be sanded, chemically smoothed and post-processed easily.
Additive Technology: FDM
ABS
Available in a wide range of colors, ABS is a low cost thermoplastic that’s tough enough for prototyping and manufacturing functional parts.
Affordable, Functional Parts
ABS is a common plastic with good mechanical properties, higher than PLA but with less detail.

Advantages Of ABS
General Purpose
ABS prints with a matte surface and comes in a wide color range, it’s a great choice for general purpose prototyping and end-use parts.
Affordable Parts
Ease of use and low cost make ABS the perfect material for iterative design projects, rapid prototyping and even small scale production on a budget.
Easy Post Processing
ABS can be post-processed using various methods. Parts can be smoothed with acetone vapors, hand sanded and even painted.
