ABS
ABS is an established plastic for functional parts and solid housings. It lends itself well to technical designs and offers many options for the desired surface finish.
Typical applications
Robust housings, control components and covers, assembly aids and durable functional prototypes.
Why ABS?
ABS suits stable, easy-to-handle parts with a surface that responds well to finishing. A practical choice for technical samples and custom replacement parts.
Performance profile
- Tensile strength
- up to 32 MPa
- Elongation at break
- up to 20 %
- Density
- 1.04 g/cm³
Ideas for your application
Device manufacture, product development, workshops and housing applications.
Surface and appearance
A continuous plastic appearance with visible layers. The surface lends itself well to post-processing for a fine finish.
Designing your part to fit
Rounded corners, consistent wall thicknesses and ribs instead of solid sections support stable parts that hold their shape.
Finishing and post-processing
Sanding, drilling and painting can achieve the desired finish; we selectively machine mating surfaces where needed.
