ABS filaments

ABS filament for 3D printer – quality and durability for your projects

ABS filament (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) is among the most widely used materials for 3D printing due to its excellent strength, flexibility, and resistance to mechanical stress. It is a preferred choice by both professional engineers and product designers, as well as hobbyists aiming to achieve exceptionally strong and reliable 3D prints.

ABS is a thermoplastic material that is used not only in the world of 3D printers but also in our daily lives – from the automotive industry to the production of children's toys. Due to its strength, ABS is suitable for creating functional prototypes, industrial components, and durable parts that need to withstand higher temperatures and mechanical impacts.

Main advantages of ABS filament:

• Exceptional strength and durability: ABS has high impact resistance and strength, making it ideal for functional components that are subjected to constant loads and stresses.
• High temperature resistance: Parts made from ABS can withstand temperatures of around 85-100°C, making them suitable for technical applications.
• Good mechanical properties: The filament offers a balanced combination of hardness and flexibility, making it perfect for complex and technical details.
• Easy processing and finishing procedures: After 3D printing, ABS parts can be sanded, polished, painted, and treated with acetone to achieve extremely smooth and professionally looking surfaces.
• Accessible price: ABS filament is extremely affordable on the market and is available in a wide range of colors and varieties suitable for any projects.

Disadvantages of ABS filament:

• Warping: ABS tends to shrink during cooling. To avoid this effect, it is recommended to use a heated platform (around 90-110°C) and an enclosed chamber.
• Odor and vapor emission: During the printing process, ABS may emit an unpleasant odor and vapors, which requires printing in well-ventilated areas.
• Requires more experience: Due to the specifics of printing, ABS filament can be challenging for beginners and requires proper settings and temperature control.
