3Dresyn ABS-like, Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene like

Tough engineering-grade biocompatible 3D printing resin with ABS-like mechanical behaviour

Product description

3Dresyn® ABS-like is a high-performance engineering photopolymer designed to replicate the balanced mechanical behaviour of ABS thermoplastics. It combines rigidity with controlled flexibility and impact resistance, enabling the production of durable and functional parts.

The material is available in HV (higher mechanical performance) and LV (lower viscosity) versions to ensure compatibility across a wide range of SLA, DLP and LCD systems.
