MABS Filament by purefil – High-Performance Transparent ABS Alternative

purefil MABS filament is the perfect solution for makers, professionals, and industrial applications. With improved clarity, reduced warping, and excellent mechanical properties, this material is ideal for high-performance 3D printing needs.

What is MABS?

MABS (Methyl Methacrylate-Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is a modified version of ABS with increased transparency. Unlike standard ABS, which has an opaque or milky appearance, MABS has been engineered to minimize material opacity, providing a clearer, more aesthetically appealing finish.

In addition to its visual benefits, MABS offers a lower shrinkage rate than ABS, resulting in better adhesion to the print bed and reduced warping. The filament also emits significantly fewer odors during printing, making it a more user-friendly option for enclosed workspaces.

Key Features of purefil MABS

• High impact resistance, maintaining strength even in low temperatures (down to -40°C)
• Scratch and wear resistance for long-lasting durability
• Superior toughness, making it ideal for mechanical parts and demanding applications
• Good sound damping properties, reducing vibrations and noise in printed components
• Excellent thermal stability, withstanding temperatures up to 100°C while retaining shape
• Chemical and stress crack resistance, offering better solvent resistance than standard ABS
• Low moisture absorption for consistent printing performance over time
• Easy sterilization, making it suitable for medical and laboratory applications

Why Choose MABS Over ABS?

• Less warping, achieving better first-layer adhesion and reducing print failures
• Enhanced transparency, making it ideal for projects requiring clear or translucent elements
• Lower odor emission for a more comfortable indoor printing experience
• Weldable material that can be effectively joined using heat or solvents

Applications

purefil MABS is widely used in industries requiring transparent, tough, and chemically resistant parts, such as:

• Medical and lab equipment, thanks to its sterilizability
• Consumer goods and prototyping
• Automotive components
• Mechanical parts and housings
