ABS-M30

PRODUCTION-GRADE THERMOPLASTIC
FOR FDM 3D PRINTERS

ABS-M30™ is up to 25 to 70 percent stronger than standard ABS and is an ideal material for conceptual modeling, functional prototyping,
manufacturing tools and production parts. ABS-M30 has greater tensile, impact and flexural strength than standard ABS. Layer bonding
is significantly stronger than that of standard ABS, for a more durable part. This results in more realistic functional tests and higher quality
parts for end use. ABS-M30 parts are stronger, smoother and have better feature detail. ABS-M30 runs the Xtend 500 Fortus Plus option,
which enables more than 400 hours of unattended build time.
