Material

FDMABS

One of the by far most common types of plastics in the world; ABS is used in everything from Lego-bricks to car parts. In the field of additive manufacturing, ABS is our go-to material used for everything from prototypes of mechanical assemblies, production runs of visible end-use items over to satellite parts and large sculptures. All in all, a versatile material capable of withstanding both thermal and mechanical loads.
