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 distinguished by improved technological parameters that significantly reduce difficulties in additive manufacturing using standard ABS material. This primarily involves reducing shrinkage and limiting the secretion of irritating volatile compounds during processing. An undeniable advantage of this material is the retention of properties at temperatures reaching up to -40°C.

Compared to standard ABS, smart ABS is characterized by:

• reduced shrinkage coefficient,
• glossy print surface,
• lower printing temperature,
• higher fluctuation coefficient.

Key properties:

• high impact resistance and stiffness 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 layer adhesion, especially when using a 3D printer with a heated chamber
• low water absorption

Applications:

• manufacturing all kinds of cases, covers, protectors, fuses, and other similar items exposed to impacts
• mechanical processing capability allows for the production of items that facilitate and enable all kinds of assembly, such as handles, gauges.
• manufacturing functional utility parts
• industrial design
• non-standard components
• instruments

The susceptibility of Smart ABS to chemical processing (acetone vapors) allows for obtaining very smooth print surfaces. As a result, elements after this type of processing are used in industrial design and the broadly understood industry related to decoration.
