An amorphous thermoplastic developed as a UV-resistant alternative to ABS. Considered an engineering plastic due to its higher resistance to harsh environments and durability. Known for its high impact and temperature resistance. Additive manufacturing of ASA requires several considerations during printing for successful results, as it is susceptible to warping, temperature changes, and produces potentially dangerous fumes due to its styrene content.

When to use ASA?

· Sensor enclosures

· Automotive parts

· Outdoor brackets, housings, or tool mounts

· Generally: parts intended for outdoor use
