Compliance Evidence
⚠ Partially documented – no complete RoHS certificate available. Evidence via manufacturer documentation.
Evidence: Bambu Lab publishes RoHS information in the Material Safety Portal.
⚠ Partially documented – SVHC statement available, but no complete REACH conformity declaration on file.
Evidence: REACH data via the Bambu Material Safety Portal.
The evidence listed applies to the filament or raw material per manufacturer documentation. Regulatory clearance of the printed final product – particularly for food contact, medical devices, electrical applications or UL-relevant parts – is not automatically included and must be evaluated on a project-specific basis. Technical machine assignment is handled internally.

Material Profile
Bambu ABS-GF combines the familiar properties of ABS – impact resistance, good post-processability, higher heat deflection than PLA – with glass-fiber reinforcement. The result: significantly reduced warping versus standard ABS and a matte, technical surface finish.
ABS-GF vs. Standard ABS
| Property | Standard ABS | ABS-GF |
|---|---|---|
| Warping tendency | High | Significantly reduced |
| Tensile strength | ~40–45 MPa | ~36 MPa |
| Heat deflection | ~90–100 °C | ~99 °C |
| Surface | Glossy, smooth | Matte, technical |
| Nozzle | Standard | Steel nozzle required |
ABS-GF is the choice when dimensional accuracy and shape stability matter more than maximum impact resistance or a smooth surface.
Manufacturing Note
Despite reduced warping, ABS-GF remains an ABS derivative: an enclosed print environment with a heated chamber is still recommended for dimensionally accurate large parts. The abrasive glass fiber requires a steel nozzle.
