Tiertime UP Fila ABS: Industrial Toughness & Matte Precision

Standard ABS is often plagued by high shrinkage and difficult support removal. Tiertime UP Fila ABS solves these challenges through a proprietary formulation that integrates Polycarbonate for enhanced structural integrity and thermal resistance. When paired with the passively heated chambers of the UP300, UP BOX+, or UP Mini 2 ES, this material achieves a level of dimensional stability and matte surface refinement that rivals industrial injection moulding.

The UP Fila ABS Advantage

• Advanced Material Blend: By incorporating Polycarbonate, this filament offers higher flexural strength and a higher heat deflection temperature than conventional ABS, making it suitable for functional mechanical components.

• Smart Support Synergy: Specifically designed to work with UP Studio’s Smart Support algorithms. The supports are engineered to break away cleanly with minimal force, preserving the integrity of complex internal geometries and fine surface details.

• Low-Warp Formulation: Fine-tuned to minimise internal stresses during the cooling phase, significantly reducing the risk of base-layer delamination or 'corner lifting' on large-format builds.

• Vapour Polishing Compatibility: The material reacts exceptionally well to acetone vapour smoothing, allowing users to achieve watertight, glossy finishes for aesthetic prototypes or fluid-handling components.

Applications in Professional Workflows

• Functional Engineering: Producing durable brackets, enclosures, and mechanical linkages that require high impact resistance.

• Automotive Prototyping: Validating parts that must withstand elevated temperatures and chemical exposure

• Manufacturing Aids: Creating custom assembly jigs and fixtures that demand high rigidity and long-term dimensional accuracy.
