The PolyCore ABS pellets by Polymaker are available in a 20 % glass fibre blend as ABS-5012 or a 20 % carbon fibre composite – ABS-5022.
Both varieties were developed specially for BAAM (Big Area Additive Manufacturing).
Both varieties of the PolyCore ABS pellets offer cost effectiveness and great printability, and are a great material for moulding and tooling at low to middle temperatures. The PolyCore ABS-5012 pellets are ideal for the additive manufacturing of architecture moulds and general prototyping.
Thanks to the carbon fibre included in their formula, the Polycore ABS-5022 pellets additionally demonstrate great mechanical properties, dimensional stability, and high thermal conductivity (low coefficient of thermal expansion). This makes the PolyCore ABS-5022 pellets suitable for applications that require thermal resistance and durability, for example low-to-middle temperature composite tooling or marine prototyping.
