Descrizione
3DXSTAT™ ESD ABS is an advanced ESD-Safe filament formulated for a wide range of applications requiring electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection and thermal stability up to 95°C. Made using high-flux ABS and CNTs for exceptional repeatability and reliability.
Target surface resistance: 10^7 to 10^9 ohms. Compare it to Stratasys® ABS-ESD7 in performance and price, and you'll never go back! Made using cutting-edge multi-walled carbon nanotube technology, advanced compounding technology, and precision extrusion processes.
3DXSTAT™ ESD ABS is an advanced ESD-safe compound designed for use in critical applications requiring electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection and a high level of cleanliness. Manufactured with consistency in mind, 3DXTECH starts with premium ABS and then composites it with a proprietary formulation of multi-walled carbon nanotubes, giving you a filament with excellent printing characteristics and consistent ESD properties.
The benefits of ABS include:
- Durable, rugged parts for virtually every machine on the market
- Easier to print than most industrial-grade materials
- Higher melting point and thermal properties than PLA or PETG
- Ideal for prototyping or end-use parts among industry engineers and hobbyists
The benefits of 3DXSTAT™ include:
- Constant surface resistivity
- Better impact retention and stretch
- Low particulate contamination
- Minimal contribution to outgassing and ionic contamination
Typical applications of ESD ABS include:
- Semiconductor: HDD components, wafer handling, masks, enclosures and connectors
- Industrial: transportation, measurement and sensing applications
Target Conductivity for 3DXSTAT ESD ABS:
Surface resistivity from 10^7 to 10^9 ohms on 3DP sample using the concentric ring test method.
Note: Internal studies have shown that increasing extruder temperatures can achieve higher conductivity levels. Similarly, lower extruder temperatures have resulted in lower conductivity levels. Each printer is configured differently, as are part geometries. Therefore, expect some testing time to understand how ESD ABS filament performs in your specific printer/application.
Surface conductivity as a function of extruder temperature:
The surface resistance of an ESD-protected part varies depending on the printer's extruder temperature. For example, if tests indicate that the part is too insulating, increasing the extruder temperature will result in better conductivity. Therefore, the surface resistance can be "dialed in" by adjusting the extruder temperature up or down depending on the reading received on the ESD-protected ABS part.
Recommended print settings:
- Extruder: 220-240°C
- Bed temperature: 100-110°C
- Bed Prep: Magigoo Bed Prep Adhesive and 3DXTECH Polyimide Tape work best for us.
- Heated chamber: Recommended, a chamber helps reduce warping.
- Other: You may need to increase the extrusion multiplier to 1.15 or even 1.2 and vary the fan speed between 50 and 100%.
- Supports: Water-soluble AquaTek X1 USM works great for complex parts.
- Drying instructions: 80°C for 4 hours.
