ABS material properties for 3D printing
What is ABS 3D Printing?
ABS, also known as ABS plastic, is Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene. Thanks to the properties of each of its components, it is widely used to manufacture high-volume products and electronic devices. Its composition is approximately 50% Styrene, with the remaining 50% divided between Butadiene and Acrylonitrile.
The combination of these compounds makes ABS a versatile material for product development. It can be extruded, injection-molded, laminated, and pressed. ABS does not ignite when exposed to heat; instead, it melts and transitions into a liquid state, returning to solid form once cooled. It is also commonly available in sheets or rods.
