ABS (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) and 3D Printing

ABS provides favorable mechanical properties such as impact resistance, toughness, and rigidity when compared with other common polymers.
​
ABS is widely used as a material for 3D printing, as it is a strong and cheap thermoplastic. For 3D Printing purposes, ABS is extruded into filament so it can be fed through the 3D printer.
​
VectorX uses high quality ABS for best results. When it is used as a filament 3D printing, it is suitable due to the high stability and various post-processing options (sanding, painting, gluing, filling). 
 
We especially use ABS for the production of prototypes.
