Acrylonitrile-butadiene Styrene (ABS) has a broad processing window and can be processed on most standard machinery.
Injection Molding
Pre-drying is not always needed for injection molding with a vented cylinder. In case drying is needed then 4 hours at 80°C is generally sufficient. Signs of moisture are stripes, streaks or bubbles in the molding and if any of these are seen then the material should be pre-dried
Melt temperature: 210-270°C
Mold temperature: of 40-70°C
Material Injection Pressure: 50 - 100 MPa
Injection Speed: Moderate - High
Extrusion
Pre-Drying: 3 hours at 70-80°C
Extrusion temperature: 210 to 240°C
Screw Design: L/D ratio of 25-30 is recommended
ABS Properties for 3D Printing
ABS is one of the most versatile materials available for 3D printing today. ABS comes in the form of a long filament wound around a spool. The 3D Printing process used with ABS is the FDM (Fusion Deposition modelling) process where material is heated and squeezed through a fine nozzle to build your design in 250 micron layers.
