NEXT 3DP ABS vs. Stratasys ABS-M30 Test Results

Both ABS materials were tested under identical conditions following ASTM standards. Below is a summarized comparison of key mechanical properties.

1. Tensile Test (ASTM D638-14)

2. Flexural Test (ASTM D790-17)

3. Izod Impact Test - Notched (ASTM D256-10)

4. Izod Impact Test - Unnotched (ASTM D256-10)

5. Heat Deflection Temperature (ASTM D648-18)

Cost Comparison & Savings

With NEXT 3DP ABS, businesses can dramatically reduce material costs while maintaining the same strength, heat resistance, and durability expected from industrial-grade ABS. Why pay more when you can achieve the same, if not better, results at half the price?

Overall Summary

• NEXT 3DP ABS and Stratasys ABS-M30 exhibit highly similar mechanical properties, with only small differences between the two materials.

• NEXT 3DP ABS showed slightly higher tensile strength, while Stratasys ABS-M30 demonstrated slightly better impact resistance in notched tests — though both materials performed similarly in unnotched impact scenarios.

• Heat resistance is nearly identical, with NEXT 3DP ABS holding a slight edge in high-temperature environments.

• Stratasys ABS-M30 has a higher flexural modulus, offering a bit more stiffness for bending resistance — but the difference is minimal for most applications.

• NEXT 3DP ABS provides significant cost savings, priced at less than half the cost of Stratasys ABS-M30 — making it a smarter, budget-conscious alternative without sacrificing performance.

Final Thoughts

For businesses looking to reduce material costs without compromising performance, NEXT 3DP ABS delivers. With comparable strength, heat resistance, and impact toughness to Stratasys ABS-M30, the biggest difference is the cost — saving you over $250 per spool.
