Filament for UltiMaker ABS 3D Printer
The UltiMaker ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) filament for 3D printers is an excellent choice for creating functional prototypes and complex end-use parts. Designed to minimise warping and ensure stable adhesion between layers.
It is an excellent choice for creating functional prototypes and complex end-use parts.
ABS filament can be combined with Breakaway support filaments.
- Strong adhesion between layers, especially when printing in a closed build chamber.
- Supports temperatures of up to 85 °C.
- Achieve aesthetic detail that rivals injection-moulded parts.
- Dual extrusion with a choice of 10 ABS colours or with Breakaway support material.
ABS – Material Properties
Below are some of the key mechanical properties of UltiMaker ABS:
- Tensile modulus of elasticity – 1,681.5 MPa.
- Tensile elongation – 3.5 %.
- Elongation at break – 4.8 %.
- Good flexural strength – 70.5 MPa.
- Flexural modulus of elasticity – 2,070 MPa.
- High Izod impact resistance – up to 10.5 kJ/m².
- High hardness – Shore 76D.
- High melting temperature – from 225 °C.
- Vicat softening temperature – 97 °C.
- Melting temperature – 225–245 °C.
Print Parameters
- Nozzle temperature – 225 – 260 °C
- Build plate temperature – 80 – 90 °C
- Build plate surface – glass + thin layer of adhesive
- Closed chamber – required
Compatibility
UltiMaker ABS filament can be printed on UltiMaker 3D printers equipped with a heated build plate, although it is most reliable on the UltiMaker S series, UltiMaker 3, and UltiMaker 2+ (Connect) due to the ability to close the printer. To print ABS on the UltiMaker S and 3 series, a Print Core AA is required.
On UltiMaker S series and Ultimaker 3 models, UltiMaker Breakaway can be used as support material for ABS, and two-colour ABS prints are also possible. Other material combinations are not supported, as ABS adheres poorly to other materials.
Applications
The excellent mechanical properties of ABS filament make it ideal for 3D printing in engineering applications — including visual and functional prototypes, fit testing, tooling, end-use parts, concept models, custom components, and short-run production.
- Prototype Testing
ABS gives engineers a cost-effective approach to development cycles, allowing them to design, print, and test prototypes quickly before moving to large-scale production.
- Fit Testing
With ABS 3D printing, you can accurately simulate the shape, fit, and function of the final part — giving you confidence in your finished design.
- Diverse Possibilities
Move from concept design to production in a matter of days, thanks to ABS filament's ability to produce functional, mechanically strong parts.
