A glass-fibre-filled ABS for stiffer engineering parts that still need an ABS-style process.
ABS-GF
Fibre-reinforcedStocked
What it’s for
Jigs and fixtures, Test fixtures, Bench tooling, Short-run production, Brackets and mounts, Ducting. We choose the final route against the geometry and service environment, not from the material name alone.
Key characteristics
- 01Glass fibres reinforce the ABS matrix and reduce movement.
- 02That produces a stiffer, more stable part than unfilled ABS.
- 03It remains a chamber material and the abrasive fill needs a hardened nozzle.
- 04Use it for rigid mounts, fixtures, and durable housings.
In our shop
We treat ABS-GF as both a fibre job and a chamber job.
We review large flat geometry early because reinforcement does not erase every warpage decision.

Design notes
- Avoid thin snap features in a stiff fibre-filled grade.
- Use generous radii and a warpage-aware footprint.
Technical values appear only after we approve a datasheet for the exact spool in use. If a specific property determines the job, tell us and we will discuss the material route.
