ABS-R is a new ABS formulation that provides superior printing reliability and performance with a 98% jam reduction for consistent, repeatable ABS prototypes, tools, and parts.
MakerBot Materials for Method are manufactured to exacting diameter and quality specifications. 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.

MAKERBOT ABS-R + RapidRinse™
REAL, PRODUCTION-GRADE ABS FOR MANUFACTURING APPLICATIONS
ABS is one of the most popular materials for injection molded consumer products due to its clean surface finish, durability, and heat resistance. METHOD X can print manufacturing-grade ABS without warping and without weakening additives thanks to its 100 °C heated chamber.

MAKERBOT ASA
UV AND MOISTURE RESISTANCE FOR DEMANDING OUTDOOR APPLICATIONS.
ASA combines the qualities of ABS with the added benefit of UV resistance and additional moisture resistance making it ideal for equipment exposed to sunlight and rain over long periods of time – such as products for the agriculture, transportation, and power and utility industries.

MAKERBOT PC-ABS & PC-ABS FIRE RETARDANT
PRINT DURABLE AND HEAT-RESISTANT PROTOTYPES AND END-USE PARTS
PC-ABS is a strong, engineering-grade material that has both a high heat resistance and high impact resistance. When ABS
does not provide a high enough impact resistance, but high heat resistance is still required, PC-ABS is a great alternative, due
to the addition of polycarbonate.

PC-ABS FLAME RETARDANT
PC-ABS FR is a flame retardant version of PC-ABS. Flame
retardance is a common requirement for materials used in
the production passenger carrying vehicles such as rail cars
and automobiles and airplanes. The benefit being that FR
extinguishes flames preventing the spread of fire.

END-USE PARTS
Short-run production with PC-ABS can be achieved for extremely low-volume products with the benefit of avoiding costly tooling. These parts can permanently replace injection molded pieces, or temporarily supplement them in the case of supply-chain disruption

RAPIDRINSE
TAP WATER SOLUBLE SUPPORT MATERIAL FOR ABS.
Print dimensionally accurate ABS parts with the ease of PLA. Print your parts with confidence in ABS-R and RapidRinse™, drop your part into tap water, and watch the supports dissolve to nothing in just minutes. Only on METHOD X.
STRATASYS® SR-30
DISSOLVABLE SUPPORT MATERIAL FROM STRATASYS.
SR-30 is a proprietary material developed by Stratasys to work seamlessly with ABS, ASA, and various other high-temp materials. Because of this focused development, using SR-30 with these typically more challenging materials can yield exceptional results not possible with PVA which is very difficult to use with ABS.

*SR-30 requires a specialized Ecoworks solution along with heat and agitation for best dissolution results.
