Stratasys Introduces NEW Static Dissipative Material, ABS-ESD7!
November, 2011
The NEW ABS-ESD7 static dissipative thermoplastic released by Stratasys, allows the Fortus 400mc and 900mc 3D Production Systems to produce static dissipative jigs, fixtures and functional prototypes for static sensitive applications. Learn more by downloading the spec sheet and MSDS.
If static charge can damage your products, impair their performance or even cause an explosion, try ABS-ESD7.
Ideal for protecting electronics from damage caused by electrostatic discharge (static shock), preventing fire and explosion (static spark) and preserving equipment (static cling), parts built with ABS-ESD7 will have a target surface resistance of 10^7 ohms and typically a range between 10^9 ohms to 10^6 ohms. Break the bond between manufacturing tools and your products. Fortus 400mc and 900mc 3D Production Systems can now use ABS-ESD7 to quickly and inexpensively produce static dissipative jigs, fixtures and functional prototypes.
