3DXSTAT™ ESD ABS 3D Printing Filament

3DXSTAT™ ESD-SAFE ABS 3D Filament

Target surface resistance: 10^7 to 10^9 Ohm.  Compare to Stratasys® ABS-ESD7 in performance and price and you'll never go back!  Works great in Dimension and Fortus Stratasys printers using the M30, P400, or P430 chip.  

3DXSTAT™ ESD ABS is an advanced ESD-Safe compound designed for use in critical applications that require electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection and a high level of cleanliness.  Manufactured with consistency in mind - 3DXTech starts with MG-94 Premium ABS (same resin as P430, M30) and then compounded according to a proprietary formulation of carbon additives and process / dispersion modifiers - giving you a filament with excellent printing characteristics and consistent ESD properties.  

Benefits of 3DXSTAT™ include:

• Consistent and reliable surface resistance
• Improved retention of impact & elongation vs. similiar ESD-safe materials
• Low particulate contamination
• Minimal contribution to outgassing and ionic contamination

Typical applications include:

• Semi-con:  HDD Components, Wafer Handling, Jigs, Casings, & Connectors 
• Industrial:  Conveying, Metering, and Sensing applications

Target conductivity for 3DXSTAT™ ESD ABS:  

• 10^7 to 10^9 Ohm surface resistivity on 3DP sample using concentric ring method.
• Note:  Internal studies have indicated that increased extruder temperatures can achieve higher levels of conductivity.  Likewise, lower extruder temperatures have resulted in lower levels of conductivity. Each printer is set-up differently as well as varied part geometry.  Therefore, expect some trial time to understand how this filament works in your specific printer / application. 

Recommended Print Conditions:

• Extruder:  220 - 240°C (desktop printers).  3DXSTAT™ ESD ABS is a filled product and has a higher melt viscosity vs. unfilled ABS.  Therefore, it is sometimes necessary to print at higher temperatures to allow the resin to flow properly.
