Industrial-Grade ESD Protection
MatterHackers PRO Series ESD-Safe ABS is designed for critical applications where static protection and cleanliness are essential. Its proprietary carbon nanotube formulation ensures consistent performance and excellent printability across various machines.
- Engineered to protect sensitive electronics with dependable ESD-safe properties.
- Easy to print while offering better thermal resistance than PLA or PETG.
- Ideal for professionals and hobbyists creating prototypes or end-use parts.
Built for Performance and Precision
Manufactured in the USA using advanced processes, PRO Series ESD-Safe ABS delivers quality and consistency you can trust. It prints strong, functional parts with dimensional stability and high-temperature resistance.
- Made in a state-of-the-art facility for tight quality control.
- Compatible with heated beds and chambers for optimal performance.
- Formulated to print cleanly and reliably on both desktop and industrial 3D printers.
What Does ESD-Safe Mean?
ESD-Safe materials are specially engineered composites that combine standard 3D printing polymers with additives that dissipate static electricity. This prevents the buildup and sudden discharge of static, which can damage sensitive electronics and components.
- Essential for applications where electrostatic discharge can cause component failure.
- Ideal for electronics enclosures, jigs, fixtures, and PCB storage cases.
- Also useful in industrial environments where static control and insulation are critical.
How to Succeed with ESD-Safe Materials
Printing with ESD-safe materials is straightforward—there are virtually no major design or hardware changes needed compared to standard filaments. If your printer handles PETG well, making the transition to PRO Series ESD-Safe PETG will primarily involve adjusting your print temperatures.
- No special design modifications required—print as you would with the base material.
- The ESD additive is non-abrasive, so both brass and hardened nozzles are compatible.
- Standard bed adhesion techniques for the base polymer apply—your existing experience carries over seamlessly.
