Material-family guidance. Product specifications are confirmed for the selected grade.
ASA
- Material group
- ABS / ASA
- Typical applications
- Outdoor housings, Signage, Exposed fixtures, Mobility prototypes
- Review requirements
- Review ASA against the defined sunlight, weather, temperature, chemical, and mechanical conditions. Approve color, geometry, printer controls, and part performance before release.
PC
- Material group
- PC
- Typical applications
- Technical housings, Machine guards, Fixtures, Functional prototypes
- Review requirements
- Review the exact PC grade, high-temperature printer capability, drying, geometry, dimensions, and end-use conditions as one qualification package. Do not infer performance from the family name alone.
PETG Basic
- Material group
- PETG
- Typical applications
- Functional parts, Covers, Containers, Fixtures
- Review requirements
- Use PETG Basic as the baseline PETG family, then confirm the selected grade against the printer, part geometry, finish, color, and intended contact or service conditions.
