ABS GF is a glass fibre-reinforced variant of ABS designed for enhanced rigidity, dimensional accuracy, and load-bearing performance. The addition of chopped glass fibres significantly increases stiffness and heat resistance compared to standard ABS, while maintaining ABS’s toughness and mechanical resilience.
This material is ideal for engineers developing structural parts, enclosures, and components exposed to moderate mechanical and thermal stress—particularly where shape stability and reduced warping are critical during both operation and assembly.
ABS GF is a fibre-reinforced engineering polymer offering high stiffness, reduced thermal expansion, and improved stability under load. It’s the right choice for functional parts that require strength, precision, and resilience—particularly in applications involving vibration, moderate heat, or mechanical assembly.
ABS is ideal for medium- to high-strength applications where toughness and heat resistance are required. It can handle more demanding environments than PLA, and maintains performance over a broader temperature range.
ABS is a versatile choice for mechanical housings, brackets, tools, and other load-bearing parts that must hold their shape under pressure. It remains cost-effective for production runs and large functional prototypes.
