3D print with reliable bio-compatible material
Print more. ABSplus is an affordable FDM thermoplastic with production-grade durability offering a wide range of colours for concept modeling and rapid prototyping.
Overview
ABS-M30i is a high strength material that is bio-compatible making it well-suited for medical, pharmaceutical, and food packaging industries. 3D print with bio-compatible material that can be gamma or EtO sterilized, ideal for products and prototypes that come in contact with skin, food, and medications.
Material Performance
Up to 25 to 70% stronger than standard ABS and is an ideal material for conceptual modeling, functional prototyping, manufacturing tools and end-use-parts. ABS-M30i has greater tensile, impact and flexural strength than standard ABS.
