Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate (ASA)

  • ASA is a modified version of ABS that contains an additional acrylate component to give it higher UV and temperature resistance.
  • Exhibits good strength against impact, and offers good overall durability - a little higher than ABS on both counts.
  • Has a pungent odour when printing, so should only be printed in an enclosed printer with suitable ventilation.
  • Needs high temperature drying for over 8 hours.
