ABS Polar White Spectrum

Filament Spectrum smart ABS

Durable and impact resistant

The specific qualities of Spectrum Smart ABS include a high impact resistance and relatively high rigidity. “Smart” version demonstrates improved processing parameters which considerably reduce the difficulties which accompany the additive manufacturing using the standard ABS. It is essentially the lower shrinkage and reduced emission of irritant volatiles during processing. An unquestionable advantage is that the material retains its properties at temperatures down to -40°C.

Compared to standard ABS, smart ABS is characterized by:

reduced shrinkage ratio,

shiny surface of the printout,

lower printing temperature,

increased flow rate.

Key features:

high impact resistance and rigidity while retaining a relatively high dimensional accuracy

high gloss of external surface

reduced warping ratio (0.5-0.7%)

HDT - 85°C

VICAT - 93°C

good interlayer adhesion, especially using 3D printer with heated chamber

low water absorption

easy post-processing (grinding, drilling, sawing)

Applications:

manufacturing of all kinds of enclosures, guards, protectors and other similar items subject to impacts

possibility of mechanical treatments allows to produce items to facilitate and help conduct installations, i.e. handles, rules, gauges

end-use parts

industrial design

tooling

custom components

The possibility to conduct chemical treatments (acetone vapours) on Smart ABS provides for extremely smooth surfaces of printed items. Hence, items treated as above are used in the industrial design and broadly defined decoration-related industry.
