Used by an array of industries worldwide, ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) is known for its exceptional mechanical properties. Specifically formulated to minimize warping and ensure consistent interlayer adhesion, our ABS allows the creation of functional prototypes and complex end-use parts with ease.

Reasons to choose Ultimaker ABS

We’ve optimized Ultimaker ABS to make it easier to print with than other ABS filaments:

• Good interlayer adhesion, especially when printing with an enclosed front
• Withstands temperatures of up to 85 °C
• Achieve aesthetic detail that rivals injection molded parts
• Dual extrusion with a choice of 10 ABS colors, or with Breakaway support material

Properties

Ultimaker ABS material properties include:

• Good flexural strength (70.5 MPa)
• High impact strength (Izod tested to 10.5 kJ/m²)
• High hardness (79 Shore D)
• High melting temperature (from 225 °C)

Applications

Ultimaker ABS is a versatile 3D printing material. It can be used for:

• Visual and functional prototyping
• Fit testing
• Tooling
• End-use parts
• Concept models
• Custom components
• Short-run manufacturing
