Bambu ABS-GF

Bambu ABS-GF is a glass fiber reinforced ABS filament that has been enhanced in terms of both mechanical and aesthetic properties. Compared to standard ABS, ABS-GF excels with higher strength, stiffness, heat resistance, and dimensional stability, while being less prone to deformation and warping. The glass fibers give the material a fine matte surface with micro glossy highlights that mask print layers. Thanks to water resistance, wear resistance, high durability, and vibrant colors, ABS-GF is ideal for both mechanical parts and decorative elements.

Increased strength and stiffness

ABS-GF surpasses standard ABS in strength and stiffness, making it ideal for load-bearing parts and components resistant to bending.

ABS	ABS-GF	Improvement
Stiffness (flexural modulus - XY)	1880 MPa	2860 MPa
Flexural strength (XY)	64 MPa	68 MPa
Interlayer strength (flexural - Z)	39 MPa	46 MPa
Heat resistance (HDT, 0.45 MPa)	87 °C	99 °C

Better dimensional stability

Thanks to glass fiber reinforcement, ABS-GF has better dimensional stability than standard ABS, minimizing warping and deformation during printing. This makes it ideal for complex mechanical assemblies and geometric components.

Sample test: Model size (LWH): 2405020 mm³ (XY direction), infill density: 25%.

Fine matte surface

A matte surface with nearly invisible layers gives ABS-GF a smooth appearance, making it suitable for decorative and finely crafted parts.

Water resistance and long service life

Thanks to improved water resistance and durability, Bambu ABS-GF is ideal for producing robust mechanical housings, connectors, and molds for both home and industrial use.

Printing tips

•Drying: 80 °C for 8 hours. Dry the filament before printing to achieve higher print quality.

•Minimizing warping: Avoid overly large and densely filled models. Use enclosed printers and apply adhesive to the build plate properly. Set a lower print speed and a higher bed temperature.

•Odor during printing: Like ABS, ABS-GF can emit an unpleasant odor during printing. Ensure proper ventilation and use enclosed printers.
