This filament offers high impact, heat, chemical, and abrasion resistance, toughness, and ease of use.
ABS is a thermoplastic polymer composed of three monomers: acrylonitrile, butadiene, and styrene.
ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) is probably the most common filament used in 3D printing. It is especially valuable in strong plastic parts that must remain resilient in the face of temperature swings. It is mainly used in FDM (fused deposition modeling) 3D printers.
We recommend printing ABS in an enclosed machine. You don’t need to buy an expensive machine; you can do your enclosure.

ABS Applications
ABS is used in many industries today because of its flexibility, moldability, and strength. You can find it in such varied products as Lego toys, home appliances, and piping systems. Compared to most inexpensive polymers, ABS is flexible, resists high temperatures, and can easily be machined. In the realm of 3D printing, it is valued because it prints quickly and is more durable than many other options.
