ABS-Like

ABS-like is our closest representation of injection molded ABS in a 3D printed material. It has the same high resolution appearance as VeroWhite, but the material is much stronger and more durable.

  • Gap between fitting parts: 0.1mm between each wall.
  • Avoid sharp corners.
  • Avoid closed designs. In order to remove support material from PolyJet parts, machinists must have line of sight access to all areas that need to be cleaned.
  • Ribbing Ribbing helps prevent long, flat parts from warping.

About the Process

PolyJet, a 3D printing technology akin to inkjet document printing, operates by jetting layers of liquid photopolymer onto a build tray and promptly curing them with UV light, unlike traditional inkjet printers that deposit ink droplets onto paper. This process gradually constructs precise 3D models or prototypes.

In addition to the chosen model materials, PolyJet 3D printers also dispense a gel-like support material engineered to sustain overhangs and intricate geometries. This support material can be effortlessly removed either manually or with water.
