ASA (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate) is an advanced polymer, with resistance to UV and weather exposure, making it a great material for automotive and outdoor applications. As ASA slowly replaces ABS parts in the automotive industry (dash panels, trims, housings and more), it was a logical decision for us to make it available to our 3D printing customers. We recommend ASA as a replacement material for existing parts made from ABS, due to its increased mechanical performance and UV resistance, almost making ABS obsolete. ASA has a heat deflection temperature of 101 Degrees Celsius, which also makes it great for automotive and mechanical parts which are exposed to high temperatures. We can source ASA in almost any colour to fit your application or have your parts 2PAC painted. We also have RoHS and REACH compliant ASA available for regulated industries where certification is mandated. Keep an eye out for our upcoming case studies on ASA applications our customers are benefiting from. Originally injected molded in nylon, with dual/over molded features to encase magnets in the end of its blades, the coolant flow impellor is complex and critical to the operation of the machine and measuring the flow of coolant throughout the system. Originally made from aluminium, the break-away bar deteriorated from thousands of hours of use. Rather than wait for a genuine part, we were able to 3D print a replacement break-away bar for the laser cutter at Laws Laser. At Laws Plus our Markforged Metal X 3D printer is able to print stainless steel componentry. The process of commercial and industrial grade 3D printing is known as additive manufacturing. Additive manufacturing (3D printing) has a multitude of industry applications. At Laws Plus, we're proud to be working with industry to push the boundaries of manufacturing and introduce innovative approaches to inventory management, prototyping and custom made solutions. |
