ABS-ESD vs Stratasys ABS-M30i
Polymer · grade comparison
ABS-ESD and ABS-M30i are both polymer grades, both specialty plastic.
ABS-ESD vs ABS-M30i: propertiesHow to read these bars
- One bar per material. A full bar is the highest value among all polymer grades in the FabDigit library; each bar is drawn as a share of that.
- The better value (by the usual engineering direction) is in bold. Rows with no direction — density, thermal conductivity — have no bold.
- Values are typical room-temperature figures for the condition named on each card.
- Confirm against the certified mill or resin datasheet before design release.

ABS-ESD vs ABS-M30i — frequently asked
What is the difference between ABS-ESD and ABS-M30i?
ABS-ESD and ABS-M30i are both polymer grades, both specialty plastic.
Which is cheaper, ABS-ESD or ABS-M30i?
Both sit in the same relative cost tier ($$$, premium); the part price will be decided by machining time, tolerance and quantity rather than by the material.
