Solidity and resistance for technical prints

A robust filament for durable, heat-resistant mechanical parts

Le ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is a technical filament renowned for its strength, shock resistance and heat resistance. It is commonly used for mechanical parts, functional prototypes and industrial componentsThis is thanks to its ability to withstand high stresses. Its excellent resistance to temperatures of up to 90°C makes it an ideal choice for demanding applications.

Why choose ABS

High mechanical strengthsuitable for functional rooms.
Good thermal resistanceIt does not deform under high temperatures.
Can be sanded, painted or gluedideal for post-processing.
Used in industry and the automotive sector for its robustness.
Less fragile than PLAis more resistant to mechanical stress.

Applications of ABS

Functional mechanical parts Gears, fasteners, supports.
Industrial prototypes Testing parts subjected to high stresses.
Enclosures and technical structures Impact and heat-resistant components.
Items requiring post-processing : Painting, polishing, gluing.

When not to choose ABS

🚫 Printing in an uncontrolled environment (risk of warping)

  • Alternative : PETG, ASA for more stable printing without a closed enclosure.

🚫 Prolonged exposure to UV

  • Alternative : ASA, ASA-CF for improved weather resistance.

🚫 Easy and accessible printing requirements

  • Alternative : PLA, PETG for easier, odour-free printing.

🚫 Parts requiring extreme impact resistance

  • Alternative : PA6-CF, PPA-CF for advanced industrial performance.
