MicroFine
An ABS-like 3D printing material specifically created to build quality parts with micro-sized features.
What is MicroFine?
Protolabs’ MicroFine material is available in opaque green and gray. This ABS-like material has been custom formulated by DSM for micro-resolution stereolithography.
Key Product Benefits
- Custom formulated for micro-sized parts
- Can produce features as small as 0.0025 in.
- ABS-like stiffness
Applications
MicroFine enables the production of parts with the finest features and tightest tolerances in the industry. Color options allow for good part and feature visibility, and its mechanical properties make it a durable choice for small part applications.
