ASA

ASA

Material Data Sheet

ASA

Build consistently high-quality parts with exceptional UV stability and the best aesthetics of any FDM thermoplastic. ASA is poised to become the most popular all-purpose prototyping material, matching or exceeding the mechanical properties of ABS.

Its UV-resistance makes it especially suited in end-use parts for outdoor commercial and infrastructure use. Its matte finish makes it ideal for attractive prototypes in consumer sporting goods, tools and automotive components and accessories.

Color options:

Ivory, white, light gray, dark gray, black, red, dark blue, green, yellow, and orange

Quick Facts:

  • UV stability
  • Matches mechanical properties of ABS
  • Good for outdoor use
