What is Machined ABS
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, ABS is a thermoplastic for CNC machining with excellent dimensional stability, toughness, and eash of machining. The machined ABS is used in a wide array of industries due to its low cost, and exceptional mechanical properties. It resists impact, handles moderate heat (up to ~80°C), and can be easily painted or glued, making it a solid choice for enclosures, housings, and structural parts.
Machined ABS Grades We Work With
There is a wide range of ABS grades available, each offering different mechanical, thermal, and surface finish characteristics. As an ABS machining supplier, we specialize in selecting and customizing the right ABS material to meet your exact performance needs. Here are the ABS grades we regularly work with. If you need other grades of ABS, please send us an email to sales@eycpu.com.
- Standard ABS: Ideal for general-purpose machining. We often use it to produce durable housings, brackets, and functional prototypes with a clean surface finish.
- ABS Flame-Retardant: This UL 94 V-0 rated grade is our go-to for clients in the electronics industry needing enclosures and parts that meet fire safety standards.
- ABS/PC Blend: When higher impact resistance or heat performance is needed, we turn to this blend. It machines well and performs reliably in more demanding conditions.
- High-Impact ABS: For mechanical parts that take a beating, this is a trusted choice. We frequently machine it for end-use components that require added toughness without compromising precision.

Shortcomings of ABS Plastic Machining
- ABS has a low heat resistance, limiting its use in high-temperature environments.
- The surface can scratch easily, which may affect aesthetics.
- It is not UV-stable and can degrade when exposed to sunlight.
- ABS becomes brittle in low temperatures, affecting performance.
- The material absorbs moisture, which can impact its properties over time.
