purefil ABS Filament – Durable & Heat-Resistant for High-Performance 3D Printing

ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) filament is a high-strength, impact-resistant material that’s perfect for functional prototypes, mechanical parts, and everyday 3D printing projects. Known for its stability, heat resistance, and toughness, ABS is a favorite among makers, engineers, and businesses looking for durable prints.

Unlike PLA filament, ABS can withstand higher temperatures (up to 89°C) and is less brittle, making it ideal for applications that demand strength and longevity. However, ABS is prone to warping, so it's best printed in a heated chamber or a warm, draft-free environment.

Key Features of purefil ABS Filament:

• High impact resistance – Withstands shocks and mechanical stress, even at low temperatures (-40°C).
• Heat resistant – Maintains structural integrity up to 89°C, making it suitable for functional parts.
• Scratch-resistant & hard-wearing – Prints come out with a smooth, tough surface.
• Good chemical resistance – Less susceptible to solvents and environmental wear.
• Lightweight efficiency – Uses 20% less material than PLA due to its lower density.

What Makes purefil ABS the Best Choice?

• Swiss-Made Quality – Manufactured with precision for consistent results.
• Ideal for Prototypes & End-Use Parts – Great for engineering applications, enclosures, and mechanical components.
• Better Material Efficiency – Print more with less filament due to its lower density compared to PLA.

For best results, pair ABS with a 3D printer equipped with an enclosed print chamber to minimize warping. Breakaway support materials, like purefil Breakaway Support Filament, can also be used for complex geometries.
