A recent post here suggested that for ABS as a modelling material, FDM
was the only or best way to go. As an outside but interested observer
of the RP industry, I have a few questions about this.

1) Why is it so difficult for other processes to use ABS or an
equivalent material, or is it that they just don't yet?
2) In what types of applications is ABS critical ?
3) When/if will other processes (LOM SLA etc.) be able to use ABS or
equivalent ?
