SBS (Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene) filament is a type of thermoplastic elastomer commonly used in 3D printing. It combines the rigidity of polystyrene with the flexibility and durability of butadiene rubber, making it a versatile material for a variety of applications.
Characteristics:
Flexible and Durable
SBS is known for its flexibility and impact resistance, which makes it suitable for producing parts that need to endure stress or bending.
Smooth Surface Finish
Prints made with SBS typically have a smooth surface finish, which is often sought after in applications like packaging or consumer products.
Transparent
SBS filament can be translucent, and when used in thin layers, it can produce transparent or semi-transparent objects.
Easy to Print
It has relatively low printing temperatures and easy extrusion, making it easier to work with compared to some other flexible filaments like TPU.
Low Odor: SBS emits less odor during printing compared to materials like ABS, making it more pleasant to work with in indoor environments.
Smooth able
As SBS is Styrene based it can be smoothed using Acetone vapor or applying D-Limonene to your prints.
