ABS Filament is a commonly used material for 3D printing. ABS stands for Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, and is a thermoplastic that is easily molded when heated and hardens when cooled.
ABS has a wide range of applications and maintains its quality well, making it a popular material for a variety of industries, including hobby applications such as 3D printing.
Advantages of ABS Filament
ABS filament is commonly used for several purposes in 3D printers.
1. ABS is a highly durable thermoplastic, often used in prototypes to test product impact and durability.
2. ABS is an excellent electrical insulating material.
3. ABS is highly resistant to high temperatures, has good flexibility and strength, and is classified as an engineering material.
4. ABS molding can be used with acetone to create a smooth and shiny surface.
