1.What is ABS and its advantages
ABS is an emerging material in the prototype industry.ABS is an abbreviation of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene，which is a thermoplastic polymer material with high strength, good toughness,and easy processing and forming. it is often used to manufacture plastic casings for instruments.
2. Characteristics of ABS prototype
ABS Prototype is easy to bond, sand, and it can be sprayed, electroplated, and laser engraved.
● Good impact resistance
● This product has stable chemical properties, non-toxic and odorless, and fully meets the health and safety requirements of the industry.
● The operating temperature range is twenty to seventy degrees Celsius
● ABS is one seventh the weight of steel, Therefore, it reduces the weight of the structure, reduces the labor intensity of workers, and reduces the consumption of raw materials, which greatly saves engineering investment.
● This product can generally be used indoors for 50 years, if buried in the ground or water, the service life will be longer, and there is no obvious corrosion.
3. Range of industries
Food industry parts, architectural models, prototype production, electronic industrial components, refrigerator refrigeration industry, electronics and electrical appliances, pharmaceutical industry, auto parts (instrument panels, tool hatches, wheel covers, mirror boxes etc.), radio shells, telephones Handle, high-strength tools (vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, blender, lawn mower etc.), typewriter keyboard, recreational vehicles such as golf carts and jet sleds etc.
ABS is currently one of the most widely used materials in the prototype industry, accounting for about 80% of the total number of prototypes. This is because ABS is a relatively good engineering plastic, and its strength can well meet the needs of various types of prototype processing. Such as testing functions, Sanding and painting.
