ABS-M30i
Production-grade Thermoplastic
ABS-M30i is a high strength material well suited for the medical, pharmaceutical and food packaging industries. Parts manufactured with ABS-M30i material are biocompatible (ISO 10993 USP Class VI)* and can be gamma or EtO sterilized.
When combined with Stratasys FDM 3D Printers, ABS-M30i gives you biocompatible parts with excellent mechanical properties that are well suited for conceptual modeling, functional prototyping, manufacturing tools and production parts.
*It is the responsibility of the finished device manufacturer to determine the suitability of all the component parts and materials used in their finished products.
