ABS-CF
Carbon Fiber ABS is an FDM composite material that adds chopped carbon fiber to the ABS matrix. It has the impact resistance and post-processability of ABS while improving rigidity, dimensional stability and reducing shrinkage. It is suitable for functional prototypes, fixtures and medium-sized end parts.
