About the Material

Similar chemical makeup to ABS plastic but offers three improvements: better mechanical properties, superior aesthetics and it’s UV resistant

About the Material

FDM ASA is a strong and durable thermoplastic material that is perfect for outdoor applications. This 3D printing material is highly resistant to UV radiation, making it ideal for products that will be exposed to the elements. It is also highly resistant to wear, chemicals, and temperature changes, making it the perfect choice for demanding applications. FDM ASA provides superior strength and durability, making it the ideal choice for manufacturers looking to produce reliable, high-quality parts that will stand up to the elements.

What is Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) and How Does it Work?

Many additive manufacturing processes offer low cost per part, high dimensional tolerances, and fast cycle times, but selective laser sintering (SLS) is one of the best options. SLS’s speed, resolution, and laser accuracy combined with advances in the raw materials allows for rapid iteration and high-quality finished parts. The self-supporting nature of the process enables […]
