PC-ABS is a common material used for injection moulding purposes, and widely used across the automotive, railroad, and electronics industries. Method’s Circulating Heated Chamber ensures dimensionally accurate prints without the risk of warping and cracking.

Short-run production with PC-ABS can be achieved for extremely low-volume products with the benefit of avoiding costly tooling. These parts can permanently replace injection-moulded pieces, or temporarily supplement them in the case of supply-chain disruption. PC-ABS, like ABS, is regularly used in mass production for consumer and industrial products.

The Smart Spool contains all the information that the printer needs, including material type, colour, and amount remaining via an RFID chip. This is communicated directly to MakerBot Print, while a built-in desiccant absorbs any moisture exposure during the material loading process, ensuring your material stays fresher longer.

Store in the included a vacuum-sealed metalised polyester bag to avoid moisture absorption from air; long-term exposure to humidity can compromise material quality and performance. Make sure the built-in desiccant is in the spool to absorb any moisture exposure during the material loading process.
