Hi
I am looking to achieve a translucent blue ABS component with wall thicknesses between 1-2mm with what should look like small bubbles distributed within the moulding. I can't post process so is there an additive or technique that could achieve such a look.
Thanks for your help.

tinari,

You probably want to look at adding a blowing, or foaming, agent to the material. You can do a quick search for suppliers on the net or some others in here will probably give you some good references. Have fun.
