Filament Spectrum smart ABS

Strong and impact resistant

Filament Spectrum Smart ABS is a material characterized by high impact resistance with relatively high stiffness. The "smart" version is characterized by improved technological parameters that allow to significantly reduce the difficulties in additive manufacturing using standard ABS material. These include a reduction in shrinkage and a reduction in the secretion of irritating volatile compounds during processing. An undeniable advantage of this material is the retention of properties at temperatures as low as -40°C.

Compared to standard ABS, smart ABS is characterized by:

• Reduced shrinkage coefficient,
• a glossy print surface,
• lower printing temperature,
• higher coefficient of fluctuation.

Key features:

• High impact resistance and rigidity while maintaining high dimensional tolerance
• gloss on the outer surface after printing
• HDT - 85°C
• VICAT - 93°C
• High mechanical resistance
• reduced shrinkage coefficient during processing (0.5-0.7%)
• ease of processing by grinding, drilling, cutting.
• very good adhesion between layers, especially when using a 3D printer with a heated chamber
• low water absorption

Application:

• manufacture of all kinds of housings, covers, protectors, fuses and other similar items exposed to impact
• the possibility of mechanical processing makes it possible to produce objects that facilitate and enable the assembly of all kinds, such as handles, gauges.
• Production of functional utility parts
• industrial design
• non-standard components
• instruments

Smart ABS's susceptibility to chemical processing (acetone vapour) makes it possible to obtain very smooth printing surfaces. As a result, elements after this type of processing are used in industrial design and the widely understood decorating industry.
