Laser Lines offers ABS material that eliminates static shocks and particulate build-up
Laser Lines
ABS-ESD7 material
UK distributor Laser Lines has introduced ABS-ESD7, a static dissipative ABS material from Stratasys that can be used to fabricate assembly aids for electronic products and other items sensitive to electrostatic charge.
Intended for use by the Fortus 400mc and Fortus 900mc additive manufacturing systems, ABS-ESD7 has static dissipative properties for applications where a static charge can damage products, impair performance or cause an explosion.
Through preventing build-up of static electricity, ABS-ESD7 eliminates both static shocks and the attraction and build-up of particulate, such as dust or powders, which can degrade product performance.
One potential application for the material is in the design of products that avoid attracting atomised liquid, such as medicine inhalers, which must deliver the entire drug dose to the patient and not leave mist clinging to inhaler’s internal surfaces.
