The ABS-like white material used in Stereolithography (SLA) is a resin-based material that mimics the properties of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), a common thermoplastic material. It is specifically formulated for SLA 3D printing, where it is cured layer by layer using a UV laser or other light sources. The ABS-like white material in SLA is known for its excellent mechanical properties, including high strength, toughness, and impact resistance, making it suitable for producing functional prototypes, concept models, and end-use parts. It also exhibits good dimensional accuracy and surface finish, allowing for high-quality, detailed parts. The white color of the material offers a clean, aesthetically appealing appearance and can be used for a wide range of applications, including automotive, consumer goods, electronics, and more.
