Material range for the MakerBot Method X is expanded with ASA<\/h2>\n

MakerBot has recently announced a new material for the MakerBot Method X<\/a>; MakerBot ASA Precision Material. This expands MakerBot’s range of materials for the Method X<\/a> ahead of its release. <\/p>\n

ASA (acrylonitrile styrene acrylate) is a well-known material among professional 3D printing users, which is mainly used for outdoor applications. For example, it can be used for outdoor switch box covers, garden tools or automotive components. <\/p>\n

ASA the weather-resistant alternative to ABS<\/h2>\n

MakerBot Precision ASA is a weather-resistant alternative to ABS. ASA is often used for functional prototypes and end-use parts in demanding outdoor environments. This thermoplastic has similar properties to the real ABS from MakerBot<\/a>. However, ASA also has better UV, long-term heat and chemical resistance. As a result, the material retains its gloss, color and mechanical properties even when continuously exposed to the elements. <\/p>\n\t
