FDM / MATERIAL PROFILE

ASA

ASA is a robust plastic for technical parts with a high-quality appearance. Its strength lies in applications regularly exposed to light and weather.

YOUR POSSIBILITIES

Typical applications

Outdoor housings, covers, brackets and functional samples where weather resistance and appearance matter.

YOUR BENEFITS

Why ASA?

ASA combines a high-quality surface with good dimensional stability and weather resistance. This makes it an attractive choice for outdoor parts designed for a long service life.

Ideas for your application

Outdoor equipment, device and housing manufacture, product development and leisure products.

Surface and appearance

A high-quality plastic surface with visible print layers.

Designing your part to fit

Ribs and rounded transitions increase stiffness without unnecessary mass. For large surfaces, we account for warping and fixing points.

Finishing and post-processing

Deburring, sanding and painting enable finely finished visible parts.
