MakerBot Precision ASA is a premium, weather-resistant 3D printing material engineered to deliver high-performance functional prototypes and end-use parts, especially in demanding outdoor environments. Unlike ABS, ASA features a thermoplastic formulation with superior UV resistance, ensuring that gloss, colour, and mechanical properties are retained even when exposed to harsh outdoor elements. This makes it an ideal choice for applications in the automotive, power and utilities, agriculture, oil and gas, and mass transit industries. Additionally, it is compatible with SR-30 dissolvable support material, enhancing its versatility.
Specifications
Spool Type
- The Smart Spool® technology provides essential information such as material type, colour, and remaining amount via an RFID chip directly to MakerBot Print. A desiccant within the spool maintains a low moisture level inside the drawer bay, ensuring optimal material quality.
Dimensions and Weight
Spool Diameter: 21.8 cm (8.6 in)
Spool Width: 4.2 cm (1.65 in)
Material Diameter: 1.75 mm
Net Weight: 0.65 kg (1.43 lb)
Storage Environment
- Store the material in the included vacuum-sC24ealed metalized polyester bag to prevent moisture absorption from the air. Long-term exposure to humidity can compromise material quality and performance. Ensure the built-in desiccant is in the spool to absorb any moisture during the material loading process.
