ABS

A strong, impact-resistant FDM plastic that balances mechanical performance with straightforward printability.

Example: printed ABS

What is it?

A strong, impact-resistant thermoplastic and one of the most common FDM print materials.

Key behavior

Good mechanical strength for functional prototypes, though prone to warping without proper print bed conditions.

Why choose it

Functional prototypes and parts needing real mechanical stress tolerance, not just visual accuracy.

Applications

Functional prototypes, manufacturing jigs and fixtures, end-use enclosures.

Printing notes

Requires ventilation during printing and benefits from a heated enclosure to reduce warping.
