Features & Benefits

Features
  • SPEEDOMETER. 

3D printed with a low-cost Z-ABS filament, the prototype of motorcycle speedometer allows engineers to see how this part would work in a full-sized vehicle.

  • Basic material

Z-ABS is the basic 3D printing filament. Easy post-processing, mat surface and wide color range make Z-ABS a natural choice for fast, affordable prototyping and low-scale production.

  • Low-cost 3D printing

Z-ABS 3D printing filament lets you affordably experiment even with the most creative designs before going on with full production. Ease of use and low cost make it perfect for rapid prototyping on tight budget.

  • Easy post-processing

Customize your 3D prints by using various post-processing techniques. Smoothen models with acetone vapors, use sandpapers or cover 3D printed objects with paints and varnishes. Z-ABS is an excellent material for demanding makers and hobbyists.
