3D printing in ASA
ASA is a thermoplastic with properties similar to ABS, but with improved heat, chemical and weather resistance. Ideal for outdoor applications.
Industrial FDM ASA Materials
When it comes to reliable and sturdy materials for industrial FDM applications, few can match the strength and stability of ASA. This versatile thermoplastic offers excellent resistance to temperature extremes, UV light, and chemical damage, making it ideal for use in a wide range of industries.
Thanks to its strong mechanical properties, ASA is also well-suited for the production of parts and components that will be subject to high stress or repeated usage. In addition, the material’s glossy surface finish makes it an excellent choice for applications where visual appearance is important. If you’re looking for a dependable FDM material that can handle even the most demanding industrial applications, ASA is definitely worth considering.
Available Materials
Stratasys ASA
ASA has all the same benefits as ABS, including high durability and chemical resistance. This plastic is commonly used in outdoor applications due to its good UV stability.
- Yield strength : 46.2 - 49 MPa
- Ultimate tensile strength : 25 - 50 MPa
- Young's modulus : 1.84 - 1.97 GPa
- Elongation at break : 7.6 - 36 % %
FDM ASA Materials
ASA materials are commonly used in FDM printing due to their superior UV resistance and weathering properties. However, it is important to note that not all ASA materials are created equal. In terms of UV resistance, it is important to choose an ASA material that has been designed specifically for FDM printing.
This will ensure that your prints will maintain their quality and appearance over time. Weathering resistance is another important consideration when choosing an ASA material. Once again, it is best to choose a material that has been specifically designed for FDM printing in order to get the best results.
