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.

  • Gaps for mating parts: 0.1mm off of each wall.
  • Avoid sharp corners.
  • Avoid enclosed designs. To remove support material from PolyJet parts, the machinist must have line-of-sight access to all areas that require cleaning.
  • Ribbing helps avoid warping on long, flat parts.

About the Process

PolyJet is a 3D printing technology similar to inkjet document printing, but instead of jetting drops of ink onto paper, PolyJet 3D printers jet layers of liquid photopolymer onto a build tray and instantly cure them with UV light. The layers build up to create a precise 3D model or prototype.

Along with the selected model materials, the PolyJet 3D printer also jets a gel-like support material specially designed to uphold overhangs and complicated geometries. It is easily removed by hand or water.

Prototypes & Tariffs: Understanding Landed Cost

While the flurry of import tariff changes following the post-Liberation Day volatility has calmed somewhat, fast-moving engineering teams still have questions. In fact, many customers have chosen to avoid non-U.S. manufacturing due to concerns about tariffs.  While tariffs have increased costs, the concern for prototypes is likely unwarranted, as the general cost guidelines have remained […]
