FDM – ABS M30

Last updated: July 21, 2025

ABS-M30 is characterized by its strength and toughness, while being lightweight and resilient. For general-use 3D printing, ABS-M30 is the optimal choice, blending utility and economy and it’s an ideal material for form and fit checks, functional prototyping and other 3D printing applications.

Key Material Facts:

  • Strength and Durability: ABS M30 offers excellent mechanical properties, including high impact resistance, tensile strength, and flexural strength. These properties make it suitable for creating parts that need to endure physical stress, wear, and impact without cracking or breaking.
  • Dimensional Stability: The material exhibits good dimensional accuracy during the 3D printing process, ensuring that parts printed with ABS M30 retain their shape and size after printing and during use.
  • Surface Finish: ABS-ESD7 can achieve a smooth surface finish due to the fact that the material can be Vapor Smoothed
  • Bonds well with other Materials
  • Durable and Weather Resistant
  • ABS M30 is up to 25 percent stronger than standard P400 ABS

Common Applications:

  • Advanced conceptual models
  • Functional Prototypes: ABS M30 is frequently used to produce functional prototypes that simulate the look, feel, and performance of final parts. Its toughness and durability make it suitable for prototypes that undergo mechanical testing or need to mimic end-use conditions.
  • Manufacturing Tools and Jigs: The material is often used in manufacturing environments to create durable jigs, fixtures, and tooling that require strength, chemical resistance, and precision.
  • Automotive Components: In the automotive sector, ABS M30 can be used to produce durable, lightweight components such as interior parts, brackets, and housings that need to withstand everyday wear and tear while maintaining strength and structural integrity.
  • Consumer Products: The material is also used for prototyping and producing parts for consumer electronics, household goods, and other products that require high durability and a professional finish.
  • Production parts
