ASA - An Advanced Polymer Upgrade For Traditionally ABS Manufactured Parts

20/11/2024

 
**Sample image is micro surface textured - can also be printed gloss/smooth**
​
​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 100 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.
