3DXMAX® PC-ABS (polycarbonate + acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) is a premium high-heat 3D printing filament. PC-ABS alloys the mechanical properties & high-heat resistance of PC with the printability of ABS and allows for the printing of functional prototypes and production parts with very fine detail and excellent surface quality. 3DXMAX® Low-Gloss PC-ABS is suitable for use in both consumer-grade and industrial FDM/FFF printers that have a heated print bed. Made by 3DXTECH® in the USA.

3D Printing with PC-ABS: Tips and Tricks
Tis the season to be jolly, join the Wolfpack in a fun 25 Days of Materials 3D printing countdown to Christmas and learn about 25 different materials and their unique properties! The objects to be 3D printed are part of the Advent Calendar/Christmas Tree designed by pleppik.
Everyday we will be unveiling a new part of the Advent Calendar and talking about a different special 3D printing material.
Following the Wolfpack’s 25 Days of Materials 3D printing countdown is an ”X-Wing” 3D Printed with PC-ABS. Our Polycarbonate-ABS (PC-ABS) is an incredibly tough material designed for strong, resilient parts. This unique material provides vast improvements (over standard ABS) in heat deflection, impact resistance, rigidity, and surface finish. PC-ABS is a blend of Polycarbonate and ABS plastic which combines the strength of PC with the flexibility of ABS.
Some interesting facts about PC-ABS:
- PC-ABS acts like ABS while being 3D printed. Just like many engineering thermoplastics, it will shrink when it cools down.
- Our PC-ABS filament is moisture sensitive and should be kept bagged with desiccant.
- 3D printed parts in PC-ABS are tough and durable. Parts are built tough and can be used as usable parts and functional end-use products.
- PC-ABS is widely used in automotive, electronics and telecommunications applications.
3D Printing with PC-ABS: Tips and Tricks
- Because this this filament is hygroscopic, pre-drying the filament in an oven at 85-95°C for an hour may be required for good printing.
- One of the limiting factors for the professional consumers using 3D printers is the problem with bed adhesion. Wolfbite MEGA can be applied directly to the 3D printer bed. It perfectly bonds to PC-ABS and Polycarbonate parts. After the part is complete and cool it removes easily. One coat of Wolfbite MEGA is good for up to 10 prints, without having to re-apply.
- PC-ABS prints best with the bed set at 140°C.
- Make sure to set your hot end temperature to 270° C when 3D printing with PC-ABS.
What is made with
PC-ABS?- Laptop computer cases.
- Keyboards, monitors, printer enclosures.
- Non-professional safety helmets.
- Small tractor hoods.
- Automotive instrument panel retainers.
- Portable appliances, flashlights, phones.
- Wheel covers.

This entry was posted in 3D Printing Tips & Tricks, Blog, Materials and Filaments and tagged 25 Days of Materials, Wolfbite MEGA. 90,000 ABS plastic 3D printing on order at Sprint 3D! custom ABS plastic 3D printing is a service that allows you to create high-quality and durable prototypes and master models using FDM technology. Products from ABS, in comparison with other types of plastics, have better performance in operation. Separately, it is necessary to highlight the high physical resistance to mechanical damage and maximum protection from environmental influences. The surface of the product, after 3D printing, is smooth and shiny.
Maximum quality.
With a large industrial workshop of FDM printers, we can fulfill any order in the shortest possible time, printing batches (from one piece) of both small-sized and large-sized products.
Sprint 3D has at its disposal modern 3D printers of both foreign and domestic assembly.
Printing with ABS plastic takes place on equipment:
Satellite, Zortrax, Hori Fobos.
3D printed ABS plastic B SPRINT 3D
3D-printing on its own industrial 3D printers
The largest working area is 500x500x800 mm
Work with high-quality plastic rods
Color of the material for a choice
Delivery throughout Russia and CIS countries
22 If the product does not meet the technical specifications, we return the money
Dimensional printing
When printing, we use only high-quality consumables (ABS plastic spools) of different colors that meet all quality standards for this type of production.
Separately, it is worth noting our staff of qualified 3D printers who have been working in the field of additive technologies for many years and fulfill orders of varying complexity.
We are fully confident in our abilities and guarantee our customers the best quality products in the shortest possible time.
ABS Applications
3D printed ABS plastic products are very popular in the fields of mechanical engineering, auto manufacturing, etc. Through the creation of working prototypes, customers can start production of final products faster while reducing initial costs manufacturing.
Our company prints boxes, cases and panels for various industrial units, electronic devices and equipment, automotive parts and much more.
Additional services
Creation of a 3D model.
If you do not have a ready 3D model, we provide 3D modeling and 3D scanning services.
Post-processing.
We use ABS plastic in different colors, however, despite the color of the final printed prototype, they will lend themselves well to coloring. If necessary, Sprint 3D offers customers the services of a professional artist to paint products.
FDM (FFF) printing is a layer-by-layer printing technology in which layers of minimal thickness can be present on final ABS products.
To create a smooth surface, we use two types of services: grinding and acetone bath. The latter, in turn, makes the product as smooth as possible.
