PRO Series ABS

MatterHackers PRO Series ABS is a premium-grade 3D printing filament engineered for functional prototyping and demanding end-use components. Formulated with high-purity resins, it delivers high tensile strength, precise dimensional tolerance, and exceptional interlayer adhesion.

Overview

MatterHackers PRO Series ABS is an engineering-grade thermoplastic filament designed for professionals, engineers, and fabrication shops requiring structural reliability. Formulated with high-purity acrylonitrile butadiene styrene resins, this material is optimized for functional prototyping, assembly fixtures, and low-volume production. Unlike entry-level alternatives, it undergoes rigorous laser-monitored testing to ensure extreme diameter consistency for demanding additive manufacturing tasks.

Fabricators value this filament for its high tensile strength of 6520 PSI and its capacity to withstand temperatures up to 85°C. The tight ±0.02mm dimensional tolerance ensures predictable extrusion, reducing prints failed due to volume variations. While it requires a heated enclosure and proper ventilation, its superior interlayer adhesion and suitability for acetone vapor smoothing deliver parts that meet professional standards.

Review

What We Like

Consistent 0.02mm diameter tolerance prevents under-extrusion issues

High 6520 PSI tensile strength guarantees structural durability

Superior interlayer adhesion minimizes delamination under stress

Excellent post-processing response to acetone vapor smoothing

High thermal stability supports operating temperatures up to 85°C

Areas for Improvement

Requires enclosed build chamber to prevent structural part warping

Emits strong toxic styrene fumes requiring local exhaust ventilation

Demands high 110°C bed temperature for reliable surface adhesion

Higher purchase price compared to standard entry-level ABS alternatives

Disclaimer

This product releases toxic styrene fumes during processing. Ensure your 3D printer has an enclosed chamber and use local exhaust ventilation as detailed in the official MatterHackers Safety Data Sheet. Always wear protective eyewear when post-processing finished parts.
