The SmartFile ASA filaments with exceptional resistance to weathering. Unlike many other plastics to ASA retains its color and impact resistance even after prolonged outdoor use.
advantages:
- mechanical resistance ideal for exposed parts
- resistance to ultraviolet rays (UV) - material to sunlight does not yellow
- water resistance - for use underwater or clutch pumps
- has a high dimensional stability, so that it deforms and the printed patterns having good dimensional tolerances
The recommended print settings from the manufacturer:
- printing temperature: 250-260 DEG C.
- substrate temperature: 90-110 C
- For heating pad is recommended to use adhesive products for 3D printing (Dimafix, Smart stick, 3D paint)
- Fan (0-30%)
- speed: 40-60 mm / sec
ASA is generally used as the covering for roofs, covers for further transportation equipment, outdoor machines and electrical equipment and wherever required color stability and impact resistance.
On models of printed material, the ASA may be subsequent processing:
- Machining (turning, milling, drilling, cutting saws)
- Welding (hot body, a heating coil, and in some cases ultrasound)
- Bonding (ASA is soluble in methyl ethyl ketone, cyclohexanone and dichloroethylene)
- Finish (printing, painting without special pretreatment)
- Welding (hot body, a heating coil, and in some cases ultrasound)
- substrate temperature: 90-110 C
- resistance to ultraviolet rays (UV) - material to sunlight does not yellow
