The specific qualities of the Spectrum Smart ABS version demonstrate improved processing parameters that significantly reduce the difficulties associated with additive manufacturing using standard ABS.
Durable and impact-resistant
The specific qualities of Spectrum Smart ABS include high impact strength and relatively high rigidity. The "Smart" version demonstrates improved processing parameters that significantly reduce the difficulties accompanying additive manufacturing using standard ABS. This essentially means lower shrinkage and reduced emission of irritating volatile substances during processing. An undeniable 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,
glossy print surface,
lower print temperature,
increased flow rate.
Key features:
high impact strength and rigidity while maintaining relatively high dimensional accuracy
high gloss of the outer surface
reduced deformation ratio (0.5-0.7%)
Operating temperature - 85°C
VICAT - 93°C
good interlayer adhesion, especially when using a 3D printer with a heated chamber
low water absorption
easy post-processing (sanding, drilling, sawing)
Applications:
manufacturing of all types of casings, shields, guards and other similar items subject to impact
the possibility of mechanical treatments allows for the production of items to facilitate and assist in the operation of installations, e.g., handles, rulers, gauges
end-use parts
industrial design
tooling
custom components
The possibility of chemical treatment (acetone vapors) on Smart ABS ensures extremely smooth surfaces of printed items. Therefore, items treated as above are used in industrial design and the broadly understood decoration sector.
Packaging
The filament is wound on an orderly, transparent spool. Each spool contains information about the material type, diameter, and recommended print temperature. The filament is vacuum-packed with a moisture absorber. The entire product is packaged in the original, film-coated Spectrum Filaments packaging.
