ABS Plus filament from AzureFilm is an Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene filament. It was specially developed for applications that require good impact and heat resistance.
ABS filament was one of the first 3D materials to be used with industrial 3D printers. To date, it is still a popular filament due to its low cost and good mechanical properties. Its advantages also include temperature stability and better flexibility than PLA.
A 3D printed model with ABS Plus Azurefilm can withstand up to 85 °C, which makes ABS a great choice for outdoor or high-temperature applications.
Thus, ABS is primarily indicated for professional use and is very often used for prototype production.
We recommend printing ABS Plus filament from AzureFilm with closed-chamber, heated-platen 3D printers. This allows you to control the temperature while avoiding surges or drafts that can cause retraction or cracking during the printing process.
It can be used, for example, on FDM 3D printers such as Voron, Ultimaker, Zortrax, FlashForge, Creality and similar printers.
What are the strengths of ABS Plus 3D printing filament Azurefilm?
The ABS Plus filament from Azurefilm is characterized by several aspects:
- The printed models have high durability
- ABS is a high temperature resistant material
- It can undergo post-processing with acetone to achieve a glossy finish
- ABS Plus from Azurefilm is a filament for very robust 3D models
Notes to watch out for when printing ABS Plus by. Azurefilm
- ABS is a material that is sensitive to temperature changes during printing and warps easily
- It is a 3D printing filament suitable for closed-chamber printers with a heated platen
- ABS can form cracks during the printing process, so care must be taken with the parameters of the heated platen and fan cooling.
- Fumes with unpleasant smell are formed during the printing process. The fumes contain styrene so we recommend printing with a closed chamber 3D printer with proper fume management. We also recommend that you arrange the 3D printer in a well-ventilated place.
