FDM material
ABS-GF (Glass Fiber ABS) 3D Printing
ABS reinforced with glass fiber for higher stiffness and noticeably less warping than plain ABS, so large parts print flatter. Keeps ABS's heat tolerance and machinability.

ABS-GF: common questions
What is ABS-GF good for?
ABS-GF is a common choice for large enclosures, stiff housings, automotive interior parts, fixtures. ABS reinforced with glass fiber for higher stiffness and noticeably less warping than plain ABS, so large parts print flatter. Keeps ABS's heat tolerance and machinability.
How strong and heat-resistant is ABS-GF?
Printed ABS-GF parts have a typical tensile strength of 45–55 MPa and heat resistance of ~100 °C. These are typical values for printed parts in the XY direction; strength between layers is lower, so orientation matters for loaded parts.
How big a part can you print in ABS-GF, and how fast?
Up to 350 × 320 × 325 mm in one piece; larger parts are printed in sections and joined, after a review. Production takes 2-5 business days, and rush service is available.
