ABS CNC Machining

ABS is a relatively inexpensive thermoplastic engineering plastic. It has excellent mechanical properties, impact, heat resistance, and machinability.

ABS is frequently used to prototype parts before injection moulding. CNC-machined ABS is an excellent choice for production-like parts with mechanical properties.

Features of ABS plastic :

  • Impact resistance, toughness, and rigidity
  • Heat and cold resistant.
  • Resistant to aqueous acids, alkalis, concentrated hydrochloric and phosphoric acids.
  • Alcohol resistance.
  • Resistance to an animal, vegetable, and mineral oils.
  • It works as an ideal electrical insulator with added moisture resistance.
  • Easy to machine.
