92ci pricing context
Why consider a Stratasys® ABS-M30® alternative?
In Fortus® production environments, repeatability is driven by feed stability, material conditioning, and dimensional consistency — not branding. NEXT 3DP ABS focuses on the same workflow fundamentals: correct diameter, controlled ovality, proper drying, and sealed packaging integrity.
Summary: Under identical ASTM methods, NEXT 3DP ABS and Stratasys® ABS-M30®
show highly comparable mechanical performance, with directional differences in tensile yield,
impact behavior, and heat deflection temperature.
