Stratasys Expands ASA Plastic Palette to 10 Vibrant Colors for Fortus FDM Systems
Since its launch in 2014, ASA (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate) has proven itself as a high‑strength, UV‑resistant alternative to ABS in Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM). In 2015, Stratasys broadened the ASA lineup, offering the material in Black and Ivory.
Beyond its superior mechanical properties, ASA delivers a consistently matte finish that gives printed parts a clean, professional look—an attribute that has made it popular for marketing assets, proof‑of‑concept prototypes, and end‑use parts that need both durability and visual appeal.
Today, Stratasys expands the ASA family to ten colors, adding Red, Blue, Bright Green, Orange, Yellow, White, Light Grey, and Dark Grey to the existing Black and Ivory. All new hues maintain the same robust material properties and matte finish, ensuring designers and engineers can realize their visions with a richer, more expressive palette.
With this update, ASA becomes the Fortus system’s most color‑diverse material, enabling a broader range of applications—from eye‑catching marketing displays to rugged, end‑use components.
