WHY 3DXSTAT ESD-ABS
107–109 Ω/sq ESD Dissipation. ABS Familiarity. Budget-Accessible.
3DXSTAT™ ESD-ABS is 3DXTech’s carbon nanotube ESD acrylonitrile butadiene styrene filament — engineered to meet ANSI/ESD S4.1 surface resistance requirements (10⁷–10⁹ Ω/sq) in the most cost-effective ESD-safe base resin in the 3DXSTAT line. CNT additive delivers consistent, uniform ESD dissipation without abrasive fillers. Hardened nozzle recommended for longevity. 105°C glass transition temperature provides meaningful heat advantage over ESD-PETG for warm electronics environments. Natural color black — standard for ESD-identified components.
107–109 Ω/sq ESD Dissipation
Carbon nanotube ESD additive delivers surface resistance of 10⁷–10⁹ Ω/sq — the ANSI/ESD S4.1 dissipative range. Protects ESD-sensitive components from charge buildup and discharge events during handling, assembly, and storage.
Most Cost-Effective 3DXSTAT Grade
$105 / 750g — the lowest entry point in the 3DXSTAT ESD line. ABS base resin is the most widely available engineering thermoplastic, enabling ESD protection without premium material costs. Same price as ESD-PETG with higher Tg performance.
105°C Tg — Better Than ESD-PETG
ABS glass transition temperature of 105°C outperforms ESD-PETG (~80°C Tg) for warm electronics environments — power electronics enclosures, thermal test fixtures, and conveyor tooling near heat sources. A meaningful upgrade without the PC price premium.
Familiar ABS Processing
220–240°C extrusion, 100–110°C bed — standard ABS parameters most printers already support. Teams experienced with ABS can apply existing knowledge directly to ESD-ABS without new print-profile development from scratch.
PRINTING WITH 3DXSTAT ESD-ABS
ESD-ABS — CNT Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, Standard ABS Parameters
3DXSTAT ESD-ABS prints like standard ABS — 220–240°C extrusion with a heated bed at 100–110°C. A heated enclosure is strongly recommended to prevent warping and improve layer adhesion, especially for larger parts. Hardened nozzle recommended. Dry at 80°C before every session.
- Extruder Temp 220–240°C — standard all-metal or PTFE-lined hot end compatible within this range
- Bed Temp 100–110°C — PEI, garolite, or ABS-slurry build surface recommended; good first-layer adhesion reduces warping risk
- Chamber Temp Heated enclosure recommended — ABS is prone to warping and layer delamination without ambient heat retention; enclosure significantly improves large-part quality
- Nozzle Hardened steel ≥0.4mm recommended — CNT can accelerate brass nozzle wear over time
- Drying 80°C / 4 hr minimum before every print session
- ⚠ Warping Warning ABS is prone to warping and corner lifting, especially on large flat parts. Use a heated enclosure, good bed adhesion surface, and draft shields or brims where needed. Avoid printing near cold drafts or open windows.
THERMAL DATA
105°C Tg — ABS Thermal Performance Beats ESD-PETG for Warm Environments
Four thermal milestones defining 3DXSTAT™ ESD-ABS’s operating envelope — verified against 3DXTech 3DXSTAT ESD-ABS technical data.
Glass transition temperature of the ABS matrix. Significantly higher than ESD-PETG (~80°C Tg) for fixtures used near heat sources, power electronics, or warm electronics assembly environments. Part geometry remains stable through typical electronics process temperatures.
HDT at 0.45 MPa. Parts maintain structural integrity under moderate load up to 97°C — suitable for ESD trays and fixtures in warm electronics manufacturing environments where PETG-based ESD materials may soften.
Estimated continuous-use service temperature for load-bearing applications. Above PETG ESD grades by a meaningful margin for thermally demanding electronics assembly environments. Not recommended for reflow oven exposure.
Required before every session. ABS is moderately hygroscopic — moisture causes splay, surface roughness, and reduced mechanical properties. Drying at 80°C for 4 hours is sufficient before printing.
ESD PROPERTIES
107–109 Ω/sq — ANSI/ESD S4.1 Dissipative Range
3DXSTAT™ ESD-ABS delivers surface resistance in the ANSI/ESD S4.1 electrostatic dissipative range (10⁷–10⁹ Ω/sq). CNT additive provides consistent, uniform ESD dissipation across the part surface — unlike carbon fiber which creates directional conductivity. Protective of ESD-sensitive components (microelectronics, PCBs, MEMS devices) during handling, assembly, packaging, and transport. Cost-effective entry point into ESD-safe FFF materials.
Surface resistance per ASTM D257. Test printed parts after manufacturing — anisotropic FFF microstructure can affect measured resistance. Not suitable for applications requiring electrical insulation.

WHERE IT WORKS
Where ESD-Dissipative ABS Delivers the Best Value
When you need ESD protection without a large material budget — and your process temperatures are below 85°C continuous — 3DXSTAT ESD-ABS delivers the most cost-effective path to compliant ESD tooling. Higher Tg than ESD-PETG for warm electronics environments.
ESD Trays & Carriers
Custom ESD trays, pallets, and carriers for PCB and component handling in inspection, kitting, and packaging workflows. 97°C HDT handles ambient electronics manufacturing environments — suitable where PETG would be marginal.
Electronics Assembly Fixtures
PCB assembly jigs, test fixtures, and handling tooling where charge buildup during automated assembly could damage ESD-sensitive components. CNT ensures consistent surface resistance throughout the part.
Electronics Packaging Inserts
Custom ESD packaging inserts, component dividers, and shipping trays for sensitive microelectronics. Printed geometry flexibility enables rapid customization at lower material cost than ULTEM or PC ESD grades.
Prototyping & Low-Volume Production
When ESD compliance is required for proof-of-concept or low-volume runs, ESD-ABS offers the lowest cost per gram in the 3DXSTAT line. Validate ESD tooling geometry before committing to PC or ULTEM grades.
Component Handling & Staging
Parts bins, staging inserts, and component handling aids in electronics kitting and MRO environments. ABS familiarity means operators can iterate quickly on fit and form without specialized material knowledge.
Automation & Conveyor Components
Conveyor guides, gripper components, and line tooling on electronics production lines where ESD protection is required at ambient temperatures. Cost-effective alternative to thermoformed or injection-molded ESD parts.
MATERIAL CARE
Dry Before Printing. Enclose to Prevent Warping.
ESD-ABS requires consistent drying before printing and a heated enclosure to prevent ABS warping. Follow this protocol every session to maintain print quality and ESD performance consistency.
Dry Before Every Session
80°C minimum / 4 hours minimum. ABS absorbs ambient moisture — even a sealed spool benefits from a fresh drying cycle before printing to prevent splay and surface defects.
Use a Heated Enclosure
A heated enclosure is strongly recommended for ABS. Ambient air currents cause corner lifting and layer delamination. Keeping the build chamber warm maintains consistent ABS shrinkage rates during printing.
Store Sealed With Desiccant
Return unused filament to an airtight bag or container with fresh desiccant immediately after printing. Long-term storage in original sealed packaging is acceptable.
Recognize Wet or Warping Symptoms
Popping during extrusion, rough surface texture, and visible bubbling indicate moisture. Corner lifting, part delamination, and adhesion failure indicate warping — increase enclosure temperature or add a brim.
HOW IT COMPARES
3DXSTAT™ ESD-ABS vs. Commonly Evaluated Alternatives
Buyers evaluating 3DXSTAT ESD-ABS typically compare against ESD-PETG for an easier-printing option, ESD-PC for higher Tg performance, and standard ABS for cost comparison without ESD properties.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
3DXSTAT™ ESD-ABS — Buyer & Engineer Questions Answered
What is 3DXSTAT™ ESD-ABS?
3DXSTAT™ ESD-ABS is 3DXTech’s carbon nanotube (CNT) electrostatic dissipative acrylonitrile butadiene styrene filament. Available in Black (1.75mm, 750g), it delivers surface resistance of 10⁷–10⁹ Ω/sq — the ANSI/ESD S4.1 dissipative range — combined with ABS’s 105°C glass transition temperature. The most cost-effective ESD filament in the 3DXSTAT line at $105 / 750g.
What temperatures does 3DXSTAT™ ESD-ABS require?
3DXSTAT™ ESD-ABS requires an extruder temperature of 220–240°C and a bed temperature of 100–110°C. A heated enclosure is strongly recommended to prevent ABS warping, especially for larger parts. Dry at 80°C for 4 hours minimum before every print session.
Does 3DXSTAT ESD-ABS require a hardened steel nozzle?
A hardened steel nozzle is recommended. Carbon nanotube additives can gradually accelerate brass nozzle wear over extended use. While CNT is less abrasive than carbon fiber, a hardened or stainless nozzle extends service life and maintains dimensional accuracy over time. Standard 0.4mm or larger.
What ESD standard does 3DXSTAT ESD-ABS meet?
3DXSTAT ESD-ABS is formulated to achieve surface resistance in the ANSI/ESD S4.1 electrostatic dissipative range: 10⁷–10⁹ Ω/sq per ASTM D257. This is the standard ESD working surface classification used throughout electronics manufacturing. Test your finished printed parts — FFF microstructure can affect measured resistance.
How does ABS printing differ from standard ABS?
3DXSTAT ESD-ABS uses the same processing parameters as standard ABS — 220–240°C extrusion, 100–110°C bed, heated enclosure recommended. Teams with ABS experience can apply their existing print profiles with minimal adjustment. The CNT additive slightly increases viscosity; fine-tuning print speed and retraction may improve surface quality on complex geometries.
Why choose ESD-ABS over ESD-PETG?
3DXSTAT ESD-ABS has a higher glass transition temperature (105°C vs. ~80°C for PETG) and heat deflection temperature (97°C vs. ~65°C). For applications near heat sources, power electronics, or warm assembly environments, ESD-ABS maintains geometry where PETG would soften. Both are priced at $105 / 750g — the Tg advantage costs nothing extra. ESD-PETG is easier to print (no warping risk, no enclosure required), so choose PETG if your environment is cool and warp-free printing is a priority.
Can I smooth 3DXSTAT ESD-ABS parts with acetone?
Yes — acetone vapor smoothing and acetone bonding are compatible with ABS-based filaments including ESD-ABS. However, surface smoothing affects layer microstructure and may alter measured surface resistance. Always re-test ESD performance on finished parts before deploying in ESD-controlled environments. Acetone smoothing is not recommended for production ESD tooling without revalidation.
What spool sizes are available and what is in stock?
3DXSTAT™ ESD-ABS is available in one spool size: 750g Black ($105), which ships from stock. No other spool sizes are standard for this SKU. All filament is 1.75mm diameter.
