Bambu ABS-GF is a glass fiber-reinforced ABS filament, enhanced in both mechanical and aesthetic properties. Compared with regular ABS, ABS-GF outperforms in strength, stiffness, temperature resistance and dimensional stability, while being less prone to deformation and warping. Glass fiber imparts a smooth matte finish with micro-spot gloss, blurring layer lines. ABS-GF is ideal for both mechanical parts and decorations due to the inherited water resistance, wear resistance, durability and vibrant colors.
Enhanced Strength and Stiffness
ABS-GF outclasses regular ABS in strength and stiffness, making it perfect for load-bearing and bending-resistance parts.
| Property | ABS | ABS-GF | Improvement % |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stiffness (Bending Modulus - XY) | 1880 MPa | 2860 MPa | 52.1% |
| Strength (Bending Strength - XY) | 64 MPa | 68 MPa | 6.3% |
| Layer Strength (Bending Strength - Z) | 39 MPa | 46 MPa | 17.9% |
| Heat Resistance (HDT, 0.45 MPa) | 87 °C | 99 °C | 13.8% |
Greater Dimensional Stability
Glass fiber reinforcement gives ABS-GF better dimensional stability than regular ABS, minimizing warping and deformation during printing. This makes it ideal for intricate mechanical assembly parts or geometric components.
Specimen Test: Model size (L*W*H): 240*50*20 mm³ (the XY direction); Infill Density: 25%
Fine Matte Finish
The seamless matte finish, coupled with nearly invisible layer lines, gives ABS-GF a smooth appearance, making it ideal for decorative and fine-grained parts.
Water Resistance & Built to Last
With improved water resistance and durability, Bambu ABS-GF is ideal for printing long-lasting production and household items, like mechanical casings, connectors and molds.
