Spectrum smart ABS FOREST GREEN 1.75mm 1kg (RAL 6024)

Spectrum Filaments 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

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.

Material characteristics

• 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

VERIFY YOUR SPOOL - the most precise quality control system on  the market

Filament for 3D printers is manufactured by the method of free extrusion, which is one of the most difficult processing techniques by extrusion, due to the particularly significant impact of process parameters on product dimensions and material homogenization.

During the production each 1mm of Spectrum Filament is being continuously measured in 2 axes with ±0.8µm accuracy, which allow obtaining a high-quality final product. To prove this, Spectrum Filaments, as one of the few manufacturers in the world, has introduced the possibility of online presentation, individually for each manufactured spool:

• the course of diameter on the entire length of the spool,
• mean diameter,
• ovality,
• standard deviation.

Precise survey guarantees that Spectrum Filaments products meet rigorous market requirements.
