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.

Design for Sustainability (DFS): A Guide for Engineering More Eco-Friendly Products

We want the products we design to last — to perform reliably, win market adoption, and deliver long-term value. But it’s not ideal if they last forever in a landfill, or negatively impact the planet we depend on.  That balance is at the heart of sustainable product design. As environmental awareness grows and regulations become […]
