High-Performance ABS-R Material
ABS-R is a next-generation ABS formulation that combines the strength and heat resistance of traditional ABS with dramatically improved printing reliability. The enhanced formula reduces jams by up to 98%, enabling you to produce repeatable, high-quality parts for prototyping, tooling, jigs, fixtures, and functional end-use applications. With superior tensile strength, flexural modulus, and impact resistance, ABS-R delivers the mechanical properties engineers and designers demand.
Smart Spool Technology for Effortless Workflow
Every MakerBot ABS-R spool features Smart Spool technology with an integrated RFID chip that communicates directly with MakerBot Print software. The system automatically identifies material type, colour, and tracks the amount of filament remaining, helping you plan prints and avoid mid-job material shortages. A built-in desiccant inside the spool maintains low moisture levels in the printer's drawer bay, ensuring optimal print quality.
Seamless Integration with RapidRinse Support
ABS-R is optimised for use with MakerBot RapidRinse fast-dissolving support material, which dissolves in pure tap water in just minutes. No harsh chemicals, no cumbersome wash tanks, no extended wait times. Simply print your part, drop it into tap water, and watch the supports dissolve to nothing. This workflow makes professional ABS printing accessible to everyone, from beginners to advanced users, in classrooms, workshops, and production environments.
