BCN3D ABS
BCN3D ABS
In collaboration with Polyscope Polymers from the Netherlands, BASF developed an ABS grade which is engineered for 3D-printing. Polyscope offers solutions for enhancing the performance of various engineering plastics like ABS by adding Styrene Maleic Anhydride (SMA) which provides benefits such as high heat resistance and high dimensional stability.
BASF has the capabilities and facilities to analyse material behaviour during 3D-printing and realize improvements. This resulted in an optimized ABS grade for 3D-printing: “ABS Fusion+ made with Polyscope XILOY™ 3D.” (Dis) solve your problem This unique collaboration has led to a solution which enables professional users to break through existing barriers. No more tinkering with fluids or tape for adhesion, no more hassle because of failed prints and best of all, you will experience almost no warping.
