FDM Fused Deposition Modelling
An item is created using a thermoplastic and a soluble support material. Material is extruded and built up layer by layer from the bottom up. FDM parts in ABS Plus may have threads and can be sanded, drilled, tapped, glued, painted and even chrome plated. Items built in ABS Plus are slightly flexible.
Fused Deposition Modelling Info:
The following information is to provide general information and it must be remembered design and build orientation can affect the values given

Note: The information presented are typical values intended for reference and comparison purposes only. They should not be used for design specifications or quality control
purposes. End-use material performance can be impacted (+/-) by, but not limited to part design, end-use conditions, test conditions, etc. Actual values will vary with
build conditions.
1 Build orientation is on side edge. 2 Do to amorphous nature, material does not display a melting point.
