ABS
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) is a low-cost engineering plastic that is easy to machine and fabricate. ABS is an ideal material for structural applications when impact resistance, strength, and stiffness are required. It is widely used for machining pre-production prototypes since it has excellent dimensional stability and is easy to paint and glue. Typical applications include housing(s), covers, luggage, battery cases, toolboxes, packing crates, support blocks, and various furniture components.
