Materials

Shipped in a vacuum-sealed metalized polyester bag, quality is preserved right up until opening.

The Smart Spool™ provides valuable information including material type, color, and amount remaining via an RFID chip directly to MakerBot Print, while a built-in desiccant absorbs any moisture exposure during the material loading process.

Material Highlights
MakerBot ABS
  • Real, production-grade ABS for manufacturing applications.
  • One of the most popular materials for injection-molded consumer products.
  • Clean surface finish, durability, and heat resistance.
  • Print manufacturing-grade ABS without warping and without weakening additives thanks to the METHOD X circulating 100°C heated chamber.
