ABS is an engineering thermoplastic made from acrylonitrile, butadiene, and styrene, giving it a balanced combination of strength, impact resistance, and ease of machining. Common types include general-purpose ABS, high-impact ABS, flame-retardant ABS, and heat-resistant ABS, each tailored to meet specific performance or regulatory requirements across industrial applications.
Yes, ABS is highly suitable for CNC machining. It cuts cleanly, holds tight tolerances, and produces smooth surface finishes, making it ideal for both prototypes and functional parts.
In CNC machining, ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is a thermoplastic material widely used for parts that require toughness, dimensional stability, and ease of machining. It can be milled, turned, or drilled to produce precise components.
ABS is very machinable. Its combination of moderate hardness and impact resistance allows CNC tools to cut efficiently without excessive wear, while maintaining clean edges and accurate dimensions.
ABS generally offers higher rigidity, better impact resistance, and superior surface finish compared to PP (Polypropylene), making it better for structural or precision parts. PP, however, is more chemical-resistant and flexible, so the choice depends on the application requirements.
ABS can be sensitive to UV light, which may cause discoloration or degradation over time. It also has lower chemical resistance compared to some engineering plastics and can warp under prolonged high heat.
ABS pipes have been largely replaced by PVC and other materials due to stricter building codes, higher fire safety standards, and better long-term chemical resistance offered by alternatives.
