Bambu Lab ABS-GF
Bambu ABS-GF is a glass fiber-reinforced ABS filament, enhanced in both mechanical and aesthetic properties. Compared with regular ABS, ABS-GF outperforms in strength, stiffness, temperature resistance and dimensional stability, while being less prone to deformation and warping. Glass fiber imparts a smooth matte finish with micro-spot gloss, blurring layer lines. ABS-GF is ideal for both mechanical parts and decorations due to the inherited water resistance, wear resistance, durability and vibrant colors.

Β
Greater Dimensional Stability
Glass fiber reinforcement gives ABS-GF better dimensional stability than regular ABS, minimizing warping and deformation during printing. This makes it ideal for intricate mechanical assembly parts or geometric components.
Β
Fine Matte Finish
The seamless matte finish, coupled with nearly invisible layer lines, gives ABS-GF a smooth appearance, making it ideal for decorative and fine-grained parts.
Β
Water Resistance & Built to Last
With improved water resistance and durability, Bambu ABS-GF is ideal for printing long-lasting production and household items, like mechanical casings, connectors and molds.
