ASA
FDM Thermoplastic
Similar to ABS, Only Better.
ASA filament (acrylonitrile styrene acrylate) is the perfect all-purpose 3D printing thermoplastic, suitable for many different applications. It has a similar chemical makeup to ABS plastic but offers three improvements: better mechanical properties, superior aesthetics and it’s UV resistant. ASA material also comes in 10 colors, more than any other FDM material.
Typical applications
Tooling
Jigs, fixtures and manufacturing aids.
Prototyping
Concept models, early prototyping and functional prototypes.
Production Parts
Low-volume production and highly customized parts.
