For high-quality ABS parts, partner with an experienced manufacturer. Fathom can meet the requirements of your ABS CNC machining project whether your job is time-sensitive, short production run related, requires high precision, or is highly complex. CNC machining is just one of the numerous manufacturing technologies offered by Fathom. Get started today.
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) is a popular thermoplastic used for CNC machining, injection molding and more. ABS is widely used due to its good performance, rigidity and low cost. During the computer numerical control (CNC) manufacturing of ABS, computer software directs machinery and equipment to subtract raw material. CNC machining facilitates the use of mills, routers, grinders and lathes. Using CNC technology to manufacture ABS parts, three-dimensional cutting tasks can be completed using a single set of prompts.
Using ABS for a CNC manufacturing project has many benefits. There is a cost advantage to using CNC manufacturing as there is no need to create a mold. Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene has strong mechanical properties and impact strength. ABS has excellent electrical insulation and is suitable for many different environments. High impact strength, hardness, high heat deflection, chemical resistance and good dimensional stability are a few of the other characteristics of ABS
ABS can be CNC machined to produce various end-use parts and prototypes. Housings, enclosures, gears, instruments, automotive parts, vacuums, toys, protective equipment, and more can all be made using ABS. Many industries use ABS CNC machining, including the medical, automotive, electrical, and construction industries
