MakerBot ABS-R
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.

ABS, FINALLY AS EASY AS PLA
With our proprietary RapidRinse™ support achieve incomparable ABS parts with unprecedented ease.
TAP WATER SOLUBLE
Forget the cumbersome wash tanks and chemicals, RapidRinse™ dissolves in pure tap water so it’s easy to use in just about any environment.
DISSOLVES IN MINUTES*
You don’t have time to wait around while your print dissolves, so we’ve engineered RapidRinse™ to dissolve faster than PVA and competitive high-temp dissolvable support materials.
*Dissolution time may vary based on part geometry and dissolution methodology
