Overview

For superior aesthetics in consistently high-quality parts, ASA provides UV stability and 10 color choices for all-purpose prototyping. The material's UV resistance makes it well-suited for end-use parts for outdoor commercial and infrastructure use. Soluble support material enables hands-free removal.

Material Performance

True production-grade thermoplastic that is durable enough to perform virtually the same as production parts.
