3D Printing. ASA. UV Resistant.
3D Printing & rapid prototyping in real ABS with UV (Ultra Violet) resistance. Part of our 'Strong & Durable' service.
Our ASA (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate) material is a sister material to ABS, 3D printing your parts with extra durability by way of enhanced resistance to Ultra Violet radiation. This makes it an ideal material choice for applications where your designs will have long term exposure to the sun.
In addition the ABS ASA material arguably gives the best surface finish from FDM 3d printing, giving your designs a nice, aesthetically pleasing finish.
ASA is 3D Printed using the FDM (Fusion Deposition modelling) process where material is heated and squeezed through a fine nozzle to build your design in 250 micron layers. The surface finish may be finely textured and slightly 'ribbed' where layers join and produces parts with robust mechanical properties, subject to your design.
Fade Resistant Colours.
ASA is available in a range of fade resistant colours: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Dark Blue, White, Dark Gray, Light Gray and Black.
Ivory is the default colour.
