PolyLite™ ASA is the ideal high-performance alternative to ABS for real-world, outdoor applications. While it shares the excellent mechanical properties of ABS, it features significantly improved weather resistance and UV stability, ensuring your parts don't become brittle or discolored when exposed to the elements.
The ASA Advantage: Unlike ABS, PolyLite™ ASA prints with a premium matte finish that expertly hides layer lines. It is specifically engineered to resist environmental stress cracking and long-term UV exposure.
Printing Requirements
Enclosure Needed? For models larger than a "fist size," an enclosure is highly recommended to maintain dimensional stability and prevent warping.
Surface Finish: Naturally matte, providing a professional industrial look without post-processing.
Acetone Compatibility: Like ABS, ASA can be vapor-smoothed for a glossy, watertight finish.
