ABS (Terluran GP22)

INEOS Styrolution · Terluran GP22 natur

Terluran GP22 is a general-purpose ABS and one of the most manageable materials in 3D printing. It post-processes, bonds, paints and acetone-smooths well – ideal for appearance models and housings.

These values are taken from the manufacturer datasheet and apply to the material, not to the printed part. In 3D printing the achievable properties depend on part orientation, layer height and process parameters – in the Z direction in particular they are lower. Please talk to us before relying on them for design.

“Qualified for functional parts” is a general classification. A functional part can be a simple clip or a main load-bearing member – the forces and load cases differ fundamentally. We therefore always assess in each individual case whether a material is suitable for your part.
