ABS

Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene — tough, light and easy to machine. The default choice for prototypes, low-cost production runs and indoor electronics where you don't need metal shielding.

Best for

Prototypes and proof-of-concept builds
Indoor electronics
Consumer products and white-label devices
Cost-sensitive production runs

Available finishes

Standard
As-machined surface — the cheapest option, suitable for internal or hidden enclosures where appearance isn't critical.
Matte
Even, low-glare finish that hides minor handling marks. The most-requested look for industrial controllers.
Glossy
Polished, light-reflecting finish. Use for consumer-facing products where the enclosure is part of the design.
EMC coating (internal)
Conductive paint applied to internal faces — turns a non-shielding enclosure into a faraday cage. Stackable with any material and finish.

Worth knowing

UV exposure can yellow ABS over years — for outdoor use, request UV-stabilised grade
Not suitable for autoclaving or food-contact (request PC/ABS instead)
