Performance Requirement |
Market Expectation |
Ingeo Performance |
ABS Performance |
Temperature in printing |
Lower is better for safety and control |
190-230°C possible, sharp melting behavior |
230-250°C |
Vapor or odor in printing, EH&S |
Low or no emissions / smell, small particulates |
Very low emissions & studies show lower particulate count |
Strong negative odor and higher particulate count |
Heated build chamber |
Ideally not required & IP limits implementation for some users |
Does not require heated build chamber, but opportunity to leverage |
Required to avoid warping while mfg. larger parts |
Fusing performance |
Fuses easily, sticks to self and build chamber |
Good fusing and build platform adhesion |
Difficult to stick to certain build platforms |
Thermal shrinkage |
Low shrinkage |
Excellent, low shrink |
Warps on larger builds |
