3D printer manufacturer Stratasys has debuted the second generation of its Digital ABS material, named Digital ABS2.

Available now in green or ivory, the new material, designed for Stratasys PolyJet 3D Printers, is said to enable users to produce thin-walled models (thinner than 1.2 mm /.047 in.) with high dimensional stability, improving form fit and assembly for prototyping or production applications.

In addition, the material's rigidity makes it ideal for 3D printing cores and cavities for use in low-volume injection molding applications using thermoplastics. Benefits include sharper edges, which hold up better, and the improved ability to 3D print small parts such as pins and other thin features that are strong enough to handle the high stresses of the injection molding process.

The new ivory color is ideal for parts for consumer electronics and other consumer goods including mixers, blenders, toasters, cell phones, computers and even coffee machines.
