ABS+Carbon Fiber=Performance Up ! eSUN’s New Filament eABS-CF Officially Launched

ABS has always been a popular 3D printing material, mainly used in the development and manufacturing of prototypes, gears, or tools.

Following materials like ABS, ABS+, ABS+HS, ABS MAX, eSUN’s carbon fiber ABS (eABS-CF) has also been officially launched.

As the name suggests, carbon fiber ABS (eABS-CF) is a “combination” of ABS and carbon fiber materials.

By adding carbon fiber reinforcement to ABS, the overall performance of the material has been greatly improved.

1, Improved rigidity and strength!

Test results of printed parts show that compared to ordinary ABS materials, the rigidity and strength of eABS-CF have significantly improved. The flexural modulus of eABS-CF reaches 2694 MPa, an increase of 82%, while the flexural strength has increased from 46 MPa to 76 MPa, an increase of 65%.

2,  Enhanced chemical resistance and temperature resistance!

Therefore, eABS-CF is also suitable for a wider range of outdoor applications.

3,  More diverse colors with a matte texture!

Ordinary carbon fiber materials are usually black, but carbon fiber ABS offers more color options. Currently, it is available in black, dark red, dark purple, dark blue, and dark green.

Due to the addition of carbon fiber materials, the product colors are deeper, and the appearance has a matte texture. We welcome everyone to experience and try it.

Additionally, carbon fiber ABS has the characteristic of being lightweight, with low material density. Printed models are lighter than those made from general materials, making it suitable for the rapid manufacturing of drones, aircraft models, ship models, and more.

The application scenarios for carbon fiber ABS are very diverse, and it can also be used to make 3D printer accessories, tooling fixtures, engineering parts, and electronic and electrical accessories.

However, it is important to note that eABS-CF material has a high shrinkage rate. Printing should be done in a well-insulated, enclosed printer. It is recommended to maintain ventilation during the printing process, and if possible, use it in conjunction with an air filter.

Additionally, eABS-CF cools a bit less effectively. During printing, fans can be appropriately used to improve print quality. Reducing the overhang angles in the model and lowering the print speed can also optimize the print results to some extent.

Below are the relevant parameters obtained from multiple tests by eSUN for your reference. If you encounter any issues during the printing process, feel free to contact us.
