3D printing materials
3D printing in ABS
Commodity plastic, improved mechanical and thermal properties compared to PLA. ABS is a common thermoplastic with good mechanical properties and excellent impact strength, superior to PLA but with less defined details.
FDM ABS Materials
FDM is the most widely available 3D printing process, mainly used for low-cost prototyping and design verification with very fast turn around times.
