ABS
TechnicalABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is a technical thermoplastic with good impact and heat resistance. It can be sanded and painted, and is used for mechanical parts, technical enclosures and functional prototypes.
Typical applications
- Mechanical parts
- Technical enclosures
- Functional prototypes
- Sacrificial moulds
