Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate (ASA)
FDM Thermoplastic
ASA filament (acrylonitrile styrene acrylate) is the perfect all-purpose 3D printing thermoplastic, suitable for many different applications. It has a similar chemical makeup to ABS plastic but offers three improvements: better mechanical properties, superior aesthetics, and it’s UV resistant. ASA material also comes in 10 colors, more than any other FDM material.
ASA is a broad-use commodity thermoplastic and suitable for most general-purpose 3D printing applications involving prototyping, jigs and fixtures, and low-volume production parts.
