ABS

Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene

When you need serious strength, ABS is your heavy-duty mini-mech! Famous for being the very same plastic used to make LEGO bricks, ABS loves high-temperature environments and can handle heavy impacts without breaking a sweat. You can even magically smooth it with chemicals for a shiny, manufactured look! Building parts that need to survive the real world? Team up with ABS today!
