A growing number of Michigan manufacturers are beginning to recognize that Additive Manufacturing and 3D printing (AM/3D) is moving beyond the category of emerging curiosity. It is becoming a practical manufacturing tool with real business applications.According to...

ASA Filament vs. ABS: Which Should You Use for Outdoor and UV-Exposed Parts?

by 3DXTech | 3D Printing

If you print parts that live outdoors, ABS filament is probably the wrong call. Most engineers and hobbyists default to ABS because it's familiar. It runs well on most machines and has been around long enough to feel like the safe pick for functional printing. But ABS...

Michigan manufacturers are increasingly adopting additive manufacturing, but realizing its full value requires disciplined application, process knowledge, and selecting the right use cases.

ASA Filament vs. ABS: Which Should You Use for Outdoor and UV-Exposed Parts?

by 3DXTech | 3D Printing

ABS is the default for functional 3D printing, but it has one fatal flaw outdoors: UV exposure breaks it down. ASA filament was engineered to fix that. It matches ABS on mechanical properties, prints easier in real-world setups, and holds up in sunlight where ABS does not. Here’s the chemistry, the spec comparison, and when each material is the right pick for your application.
