Plastic Material: ABS vs ASA – What’s the difference?

ByBeyond Bynd

A frequently asked question in the 3D printing industry is: what is the difference between ABS and ASA? Today, we are going to break down the differences and clear up the air between these two materials. Let’s start with the technical data.

3D-Printing Technology: Fused Deposition Modelling – FDM

ByBeyond Bynd

Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) is the most common 3D-printing technology and is what we commonly associate 3D printing with. This technology is also known as Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF). Some have categorised this as two different technologies, but they are the same. The different names are due to trademarks that Stratasys filed back in 1991….
