Spectrum Smart ABS "smart" version is characterized by improved processing parameters, significantly reducing the difficulty of additive manufacturing when using standard ABS material.

Spectrum Smart ABS Filament

Durable and impact-resistant

Spectrum Smart ABS filament is a material known for its high impact bending strength combined with relatively high stiffness. The "smart" version features enhanced processing parameters, which notably lower the challenges of additive manufacturing with standard ABS material. This primarily involves a reduction in shrinkage and a limitation on the release of irritating volatile compounds during processing. An undeniable advantage of this material is that it retains its properties at temperatures as low as -40°C.

Compared to standard ABS, Smart ABS stands out due to:

• reduced shrinkage rate,
• glossy surface finish of prints,
• lower printing temperature,
• increased flow factor.

Applications:

• Production of all types of housings, covers, protective devices, safety equipment, and similar items exposed to impacts.
• The possibility of machining allows for the creation of items that facilitate and enable various types of assembly, such as brackets and jigs.
• Manufacturing of functional consumer goods.
• Industrial design.
• Non-standard components.
• Equipment.

The susceptibility of Smart ABS to chemical treatment (acetone vapors) allows for achieving very smooth print surfaces. For this reason, elements treated in this manner are used in industrial design and the broadly understood decorative sector.
