Solaxis ASA

Solaxis ASA is poised to become the most popular all-purpose prototyping material for users of Fortus 380mc™, 450mc™ and 900mc™ 3D Printers, and the Stratasys F123™ Series. Now you can build consistently high-quality parts, with exceptional UV stability and the best esthetics of any FDM® thermoplastic. Matching or exceeding the mechanical properties of ABS, ASA may be your new favorite general prototyping material. Its UV-resistance makes it especially suited in production parts for outdoor commercial and infrastructure use. And its wide selection of colors and matte finish makes it ideal for attractive prototypes in consumer sporting goods, tools and automotive components and accessories.

Features & Benefits

At The Core
  • Advanced FDM Technology  FDM (fused deposition modeling) technology works with engineering-grade thermoplastics to build strong, longlasting and dimensionally stable parts with the best accuracy and repeatability of any 3D printing technology. These parts are tough enough to be used as advanced conceptual models, functional prototypes, manufacturing tools and production parts.
  • Meet production demands FDM systems are as versatile and durable as the parts they produce. Advanced FDM 3D Printers boast the largest build envelopes and material capacities in their class, delivering longer, uninterrupted build times, bigger parts and higher quantities than other additive manufacturing systems, delivering high throughput, duty cycles and utilization rates.
  • Opening the way for new possibilities  FDM 3D Printers streamline processes from design through manufacturing, reducing costs and eliminating traditional barriers along the way. Industries can cut lead times and costs, products turn out better and get to market faster.
  • No special facilities needed FDM 3D Printers are easy to operate and maintain compared to other additive fabrication systems because there are no messy powders or resins to handle and contain, and no special venting is required because FDM systems don’t produce noxious fumes, chemicals or waste.
