ABS Filament
ABS 3D Printing in Gurgaon.
ABS is tough, heat-resistant, and the go-to material for functional prototypes and enclosures. Printed on our enclosed, temperature-controlled FDM printers to avoid the classic ABS warping problems.
ABS technical specs.
These are the properties that matter when choosing ABS over another filament. If you're not sure which material fits your part, ask us on WhatsApp — we recommend based on how the part is used, not what sounds impressive.

When to choose ABS for your part.
ABS is the material to reach for when PLA isn't tough enough. It survives higher temperatures (~100°C heat deflection), handles impact without shattering, and accepts post-processing techniques — sanding, priming, painting, vapor smoothing — that are difficult or impossible on other FDM plastics. If you're an automotive team in Manesar prototyping under-bonnet parts, or a product designer needing a polished enclosure, ABS is usually the right call.
The catch is that ABS is hard to print well. It warps aggressively as it cools, which means an open-frame printer will curl parts off the bed and produce cracks between layers. Our production-grade enclosed printers run with active chamber heating, which solves both problems — but even so, ABS prints take more slicer tuning and babysitting than PLA. That's why the rate is slightly higher.
ABS emits mild fumes while printing, so we run it in a ventilated section of our Gurgaon workshop. The final printed part is inert and safe to handle. If you're comparing ABS to ASA for outdoor use, ASA wins — it has the same strengths without the UV sensitivity.
