Material Info

FDM - ABS is a synthetic polymer and one of the most widely used plastics in the world. ABS is particularly resistant to oils, greases and high temperatures. The high rigidity, toughness and strength are also among the most important properties of ABS. As a disadvantage can be mentioned the moderate weather resistance, which is nevertheless still much higher than that of PLA, for example. If you are looking for a UV-resistant alternative, you will find it in the FDM - ASA material.

Look and feel:
With the FDM process, the individual print layers (usually 0.1-0.3 mm), or process paths of the print nozzle, are clearly visible on the parts. In addition, support structures are often necessary for printing, which must be removed afterwards and can have an impact on the surface quality.

The FDM technology

The comparatively inexpensive but extremely flexible FDM process impresses with a huge selection of materials as well as large installation spaces ( with us, for example, up to 1,000 x 500 x 500 mm).

Further materials for the FDM process

ASA

ASA is the ABS for outdoors. The property profile is similar, but ASA has a higher heat resistance and is more resistant to UV radiation.

PLA

The PLA, made from renewable raw materials, is characterized by its high tensile strength. It is particularly suitable for prototypes and bulky parts.

PETG

This plastic combines the best properties of ABS and PLA. It is tougher than ABS, more heat resistant than PLA, UV stable and resistant to many chemicals.

PC

Polycarbonate (PC) is an extremely tough material. It has high temperature resistance, making it ideal for technical enclosures, for example.

PA6 CF

The carbon fiber-reinforced PA6/66 is highly resistant to external influences and particularly good for robust parts that have to meet higher mechanical requirements.

TPU D58

With an elongation of up to 480%, high chemical resistance as well as heat resistance up to 140°C, the material is suitable for industrial applications.

ESD ABS

ESD ABS is ideal for critical applications that require a high level of protection against electrostatic discharges, such as electrical enclosures or packaging.

Green-TEC

This material is a real alternative to conventional materials used for technical applications and is both food safe and compostable.
