Filament Polymaker PolyLite™ ASA

PolyLite™ ASA by Polymaker is one of the basic filaments suitable for industrial-grade 3D printing. UV resistance, water resistance, and good mechanical properties can be mentioned as the main advantages of the material.

This amorphous filament belongs to commodity polymers, which means there are some limitations regarding the resistance and durability of the elements made of ASA. The filament suits well in many less-demanding applications, which makes this polymer popular among both AM professionals and 3D printing enthusiasts. This material works well for rapid prototyping. It is easy for printing and post-processing. PolyLite™ ASA is characterized by good chemical resistance and a high level of dimensional stability. Its chemical composition is similar to ABS, with two differences. Firstly, ASA is much better at weather resistance, and secondly, printouts made of ASA have a nice, matte finish that makes layer lines less visible. Another attribute of ASA is vast range of colors, which can be found by browsing the 3DGence Store offer.

Key benefits of PolyLite™ ASA

• water and UV light resistance,
• good mechanical properties,
• affordable price,
• ease of printing.

PolyLite™ ASA applications

One of the best things about 3D printing technology is the great diversity of polymers that highly affects the miscellaneous results. ASA shows medium mechanical performance. It fits perfectly for multiple outdoor applications: mailbox, garden or sports equipment, bike handlers, and so on. Many customers, including automotive companies, use it for functional sampling, creating impact-resistant models, and prototyping.

PolyLite™ ASA: good to know

The material is compatible with our industrial 3D printers: INDUSTRY™ F350 and INDUSTRY™ F421. Moreover, it works with soluble support material which results in an easier and quicker processing stage. To obtain big printouts featuring good dimensional stability, you need a 3D printer with an enclosed heated chamber.
