PC/ABS arrives for rapid prototyping.


What appears to be the first PC/ABS PC/ABS Polycarbonate/Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene  blend for rapid prototyping and rapid manufacturing is now commercially available from Stratasys, Eden Prairie, Minn. The new resin powder is designed for the company's T-Class fused deposition modeling See 3D printing.  (FDM (1) (Fused Deposition Modeling) See 3D printing.
