ABS, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene, 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.
ABS is available in a smooth/smooth finish or with a haircell texture on one side. The haircell finish is similar to the
surface of an orange peel, giving it a little texture vs the smooth finish. ABS also works very well with the vacuum forming process and
is a preferred material.
