Carbon-fiber-reinforced ABS for strong, lightweight tooling and fixtures that outperform standard engineering plastics.
ABS-CF10 is a specified composite thermoplastic designed to bridge the gap between standard engineering plastics and metal tooling. By combining traditional ABS with10% chopped carbon fiber, ABS-CF10 delivers specified stiffness, strength and dimensional stability while remaining easy to print on compatible Stratasys FDM systems.
Engineered specifically for tooling and manufacturing environments, ABS-CF10 enables the production of durable, lightweight parts that can replace machined metal components in many applications - reducing cost, weight and lead time without sacrificing performance.
Compared to non-reinforced ABS, ABS-CF10 isover 50% stiffer and 15% stronger, making it well suited for load-bearing fixtures, end effectors and manufacturing aids. Its enhanced rigidity improves dimensional stability under load, delivering consistent performance on the factory floor.
ABS-CF10 excels in applications where strength, rigidity and reduced weight are critical. Typical uses include jigs, fixtures, soft jaws, end effectors and production tooling, where polymer solutions offer faster turnaround and lower cost than metal alternatives.
Despite its composite reinforcement, ABS-CF10 remains compatible withsoluble support materials, allowing complex geometries, internal channels and undercuts to be printed without design compromise. This makes it ideal for intricate tooling and functional components.
ABS-CF10 maintains the familiar processing characteristics of ABS, including low moisture sensitivity and reliable print behavior. This ensures predictable results across repeated builds in production environments.
ABS-CF10 is designed specifically for Stratasys FDM printers equipped with hardened extrusion heads, delivering consistent quality and long-term durability in industrial workflows.
