What is ABS CNC?
ABS CNC is a 3D printing technology that uses fused deposition modeling (FDM) to produce parts from thermoplastic ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) filament. ABS CNC derives from the three primary technologies used in the process: 3D printing, computer numerical control (CNC), and laser cutting. Parts are printed using a nozzle that deposits melted ABS filament onto a build plate, which is then lowered into position by a CNC router. The build plate is then heated to a temperature high enough to cause the ABS filament to solidify.
ABS CNC printers use software to create 3D models of parts, then sliced into thin layers that can be printed on the printer. The software also controls the printer head’s motion and the build plate’s speed and temperature. This allows for intricate designs with smooth surfaces and tight tolerances.
